The Southern Burgundy Greenway — by bike or on foot
Just a few minutes from La Maison Rosie, the Southern Burgundy Voie Verte is one of the finest routes in the region: a converted railway line, entirely car-free, with a smooth, comfortable surface. Perfect for families, pushchairs, and e-bikes alike.
Getting there from Étrigny
- •Cormatin / Buxy: 10 to 15 minutes by car
- •Cluny: 20 to 25 minutes
- •Easy parking near the trail
- •Bike hire available in Saint-Gengoux-le-National, with direct access to the greenway
Not to be missed: the Bois Clair tunnel
Located beyond Cluny, this 1.6 km tunnel offers a naturally cool respite — blissful in summer heat. (Closed in winter, from October to March.)
Our favourite rides

Hiring bikes
Two options. Les Vélos de Saint-Gengoux, in the old railway station 15 minutes away, where you set off straight onto the greenway. Or La Bourgogne à Vélo, which delivers e-bikes or classic bikes to La Maison Rosie and collects them at the end of your stay: no driving involved. And if you would rather not deal with it at all, Nathalie, our on-site concierge, will take care of the hire for you.
- •Les Vélos de Saint-Gengoux — set off straight onto the greenway
- •La Bourgogne à Vélo — delivered to and collected from the house
Mâconnais vineyards, picture-postcard villages, peaceful countryside, and plenty of picnic spots — everything for a perfect day out.
