The Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region is increasingly visited by boat or barge for a more responsible (electric motors) and quieter exploration. Its canals, with waters calmed by locks, the result of human intervention, allow tourists to immerse themselves in its varied landscapes. The Othe forest and its significant biodiversity, diversion canals like Épizy, or long passages of 74 miles (120 km) without locks on the rivers of Burgundy allow visitors to discover the region's terroir in the middle of the vineyards.
