The Voie Verte and the Véloroute link Paray-le-Monial to Cronat via Bourbon-Lancy.

• The Voie Verte is a recognised tourist label: it is a family-friendly, walking tool for cyclos, hikers and rollerbladers. It now links Paray-le-Monial to Cronat and is part of 3 networks:the Saône-et-Loirienne departmental greenway, the EuroVélo 6 – Nantes-Budapest and the Tour de Bourgogne by bicycle.
• For the link between Digoin and Gilly-sur-Loire, there are two solutions: the Voie Verte which runs along the canal on the Allier side through Diou or the Véloroute which passes through Les Guerreaux to then join the Voie Verte from Gilly sur Loire to Bourbon-Lancy.
• The link between Bourbon-Lancy and Cronat is labelled as a Véloroute. Good signage is in place with markings and the small roads chosen represent a passage of less than 200 vehicles per day.

The Municipality has decided to ensure the connection between the city centre – leisure centre – greenway, with a fully secure route that passes through the old Fourneau station, along the Breuil water body and through the Puzenat Park.
