Getting to Le Baugyte by train + bike: a green getaway without a car
A green getaway without a car in the Brionnais!
Fancy a few days in the countryside, a cycling break, or simply a change of scenery without taking the car?
As a couple, with friends or with several families, combining train and bike makes it easy to plan a few days away in the Brionnais.
Le Baugyte is located in Baugy, just 3 km from Marcigny, right next to the greenway and on the Véloire V71 cycling route, ""the wild Loire by bike"".

Although Baugy does not have a train station, it is very easy to reach the gîte by combining train + bike.
The idea is simple:
Take the train to Roanne or Paray-le-Monial, then cycle to Le Baugyte via the greenway.
A pleasant, affordable and refreshing way to start your stay as soon as you leave the train.
From Roanne: around 35 km by bike
Roanne is an excellent gateway for reaching Le Baugyte.
From Roanne railway station, join the Véloire V71 route, then follow the greenway towards Charlieu and Marcigny.
Le Baugyte is located right next to the route, around 35 km from Roanne.
This distance is manageable for families and occasional cyclists, especially with an electric bike, making it easy to plan a two- or three-day getaway as a couple, with friends or with several families.
From Lyon, for example, you can take the train to Roanne, cycle to Le Baugyte, stay overnight and cycle back the following day.
Travellers from Lyon have already chosen this option: train to Roanne with their bikes, greenway to Le Baugyte, overnight stay at the gîte, then back to Roanne by bike the next day.
For a group of friends or several families, everyone can enjoy the journey at their own pace before meeting up again at the gîte to spend the evening together.
From Paray-le-Monial: around 22 km by bike
Paray-le-Monial is the other particularly convenient gateway for reaching Le Baugyte.
From the railway station, it is around 22 km by bike to reach the gîte.
Once again, the greenway allows you to complete most of the journey on a pleasant and safe route.
With only around twenty kilometres to cycle, this option is particularly suitable for couples, families, groups of friends or several families travelling together, as well as anyone using an electric bike.
And from Digoin?
Digoin is around 35 km by bike from Le Baugyte via Paray-le-Monial.
The town is therefore another good option for planning a cycling break in the Brionnais or including an overnight stay at Le Baugyte as part of a longer cycling trip.
A few days to switch off, not far from home
Combining train and bike makes it easy to reach the Brionnais from many towns and cities, including Lyon and the main urban areas in the region.
Once you arrive at Le Baugyte, park your bikes and enjoy the peace and quiet: garden and green spaces, terrace, the Brionnais countryside, the banks of the Loire, and Marcigny with all its shops just 3 km away.
Le Baugyte is also a great place to get together under one roof, prepare meals on site and enjoy time together after a day of cycling.
The next day, simply get back onto the greenway to continue your cycling journey or return to your departure station.
Train + bike + greenway + nature: no car needed to get to Le Baugyte.
