Art lovers will also have the pleasure of attending the various painting exhibitions organized at the Baron Martin museum every summer. After your historical stroll, don't miss the "Sound and Light" summer festival, where you'll be treated to a fireworks display along the river.
In the early morning, board your river boat and haul in alongside the Canal des Vosges or the Rhône, where a delightful landscape of pastures and forests, criss-crossed by numerous rivers that invite you to swim, will pass before your eyes.crossed by numerous waterways that are perfect for a dip. The town of Berge and its small beaches, the commune of Dijon, famous for its mustard, the castle embellishing Ray-Sur-Saône and the magnificent panoramas on the banks of the Saône from Seveux-Savoyeux are just waiting for you!
