The Blue Lane is a cycling and pedestrian path along the Saône, between Mâcon and Tournus. It integrates into the Eurovélo 6 route, which crosses West France and is then joined to join the Black Sea. For the moment, you can be satisfied with the 6 kilometers between Mâcon de Sancé and the old Halfway Road. Once you arrive in Sancé, you can choose to go quietly on Mâcon, or continue over twenty kilometers from Tournus.

From the medieval city, this 14-kilometer loop can be made in ATV or on foot. You will need a little force on the calves to climb up to the peak of the ridges, because the gradient is steep, but the view obtained from the top of the Four Winds is worth it. This trail is mainly in the forest, on marked trails. You will notice in particular the presence of crosses indicating that you have just entered the old non-aggression zone surrounding the abbey to protect the monks.

Chalon-sur-Saône is at the crossroads of many cycling paths. In the north, a Green Lane joins Chagny and Santenay, while in the south a second Green Lane joins Cluny. Also accessible to hikers, these itineraries are flat and secure. If you only have one hour, you can settle for the segment between Chalon-sur-Saône and Givry, 10 kilometres long. The path crosses the fields and vineyards that have made the international reputation of the region and leads to this municipality to the rich historical heritage, where you can turn half or continue towards the south.

The Roule ma Poule operation is a day dedicated to cycling organized by the Saône Doubs Bresse tourist office in partnership with the San-Martin cycling club. Three cycling tours are on offer, with approximately 30, 60 or 80 km on the 2024 program. The routes are open to all, for young and old, amateurs and experienced cyclists alike, and are well signposted, with no major difficulties in this generally flat area. Catering and a variety of entertainment round off the day's program, providing a little comfort for the less hardy.

Every year, Confluence en fête celebrates the Saône and Doubs rivers in an original way. In 2024, the program will include nautical activities and educational events linked to the riches of the water: kayak and boat trips (including old sailing ships), diving and model-boat initiations, a jousting tournament, and mechanical surfing (a bit like rodeo, but on a board, on dry land). A water village featuring environmental education and natural heritage awareness players will also be on hand, with plenty of entertainment.
