Pont-et-Massène

Tourism, holidays & weekends guide in the Côte-d'Or

Commune wet by the lake of Pont, Pont-et-Massène takes place in Burgundy-Franche-Comté, in the department of the Côte-d'Or. Peuplé of barely 200 inhabitants, this charming village is located to the south of Semur-en-Auxois, a medieval city very touristic of the area.

Known as the second smallest town in France, the village of Pont-et-Massène was once a hamlet in the parish of Saint Euphrone. It was not until the end of the nineteenth century and the project of reservoir dam on the Armançon that the small village without school and without church finally developed.

Today, this Côte-d'Or district boasts an important tourist attraction, notably thanks to its nautical leisure base which attracts many visitors throughout the year. Its proximity to some of the most beautiful sites in the region also ensures regular attendance.

Things to see and do

The main attraction of Pont-et-Massène remains the lake and the dam of Bridge. The site, laid out, reveals a peripheral pedestrian trail of a dozen kilometers allowing to appreciate original rocks and all the meanders of the valley, or a very frequented beach. The latter has diving boards and allows the practice of boating, pedal boating or windsurfing. A kindergarten is also available, as is a summer campsite or a fishing site.

Events and festivities

A nocturnal market is held each year in June.
