Things to do in Migennes

Why do we recommend stopping here?

Migennes is ideally situated at the start of the Canal de Bourgogne, the Rivers Yonne and Armançon. It has some pleasant public spaces, a supermarket handily placed for the base and a mainline railway station opposite, making it easy to access, or to explore further afield.

Is this place famous for anything?

The Canal de Bourgogne with its 189 locks was opened in 1832 and runs between Migennes and St Jean de Losne. The railway line between Paris - Laroche Migennes and Tonnerre which opened in August 1849 really opened up access to this area.

Thursday morning

Is there a public swimming pool?

PISCINE PLEIN SOLEIL, opposite the library and next to the gym.
