Cycle bypass around the busy Porte de Paris roundabout, Auxerre (excellent the way the French are happy to use zebra crossings for cycles).

Alternative view of the cycle route south from Auxerre - this shows the west-bank route, unlike the printed map, but not the one on the east bank, between the Yonne and the railway.

There are plenty of excellent free cycling maps of Bourgogne (Burgundy); but the map of the Yonne towpath south of Auxerre is not good - especially if heading south!

Cyclists are not allowed to cycle on Route National 6 across the bridge where the towpath route changes sides - instead they have to push across (the problem is not so much the bridge, but the left turn at the far end).

Not a VTT (Vélo Tout Terrain or mountainbike) but a VTC - Vélo Tous Chemins or a bike for all roads and tracks - an ideal rental bike for the chemins de halage or towpaths of Burgundy (from the Auxerre tourist office)

2054 km to Santiago de Compostella - apparently the Coullée Verte cycle route is also the way of St James. Also another swinging gate that's not quite big enough for a bike.
