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.
