As soon as you set your wheels down in Sens, you realize just how attractive a bike ride can be. Between pedestrian streets lined with half-timbered houses and the banks of the Yonne, every pedal stroke reveals a treasure trove of history and nature. Renting a bike gives you the freedom to cruise along the quiet banks, admire the majestic Gothic cathedral and lose yourself in the cobbled streets of the old town.

The cycling network is well signposted. It's easy to follow the Burgundy Canal greenway from the port of Sens, or take the Yonne Valley cycle route to Joigny and its abbey. You can also cross the Othe forest, ideal for those who prefer a shady, slightly more athletic route. The slopes here are gentle, perfect for all levels.

Just a few kilometers away, Villeneuve-sur-Yonne beckons with its medieval charm, while Pontigny reveals its famous Cistercian priory. Continuing south, you can reach Migennes and discover other quiet loops along picturesque canals. In this way, renting a bike in Sens becomes the starting point for a never-ending escapade in the Yonne.

The local weather is ideal for cyclists: spring and summer offer sunny days at around 20 to 25°C, while autumn dresses the landscape in golden hues. Even in the event of light rain, a windbreaker and a good raincoat complete the equipment without weighing down the outing. It's best to avoid the cooler, wetter winter, except for the most adventurous.

To get the most out of your trip, remember to take along a water bottle, energy bars and a sturdy bike lock. Helmets are highly recommended, even if the trails are well separated from traffic. Last but not least, a smartphone with a GPS tracking app ensures that you don't miss out on any points of interest.
