The canal is really a great thing to do. As you said you can bike or walk along the canal and visit all the beautiful villages like Chateauneuf en auxois. Perfect plan for chilling out.

I visited a Burgundian bunker and was forced by the soldiers to work restlessly there. Luckily I escaled with the help of free nations.

It can be quite a disturbing place in an alternate timeline, they call it ordenstat burgundy and its ruled by aryan chiken man but lets just ignore that anyways I think it ended in a thermo-nuclear war or some stuff like that...

[supafob]
