A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.
The cyclepath sometimes took detours away from the canal, where the towpath wasn't usable, but it made little difference there's still very few people and virtually no traffic.
I think it's Chatillon. I had lunch in the town, which was decorated to greet the Tour de France which was passing through at some point. I took the photo simply as yet another chateau by the banks of the river/canal.
