Made in Kart

In Joigny, in the Yonne, Made in Kart stretches across 1,050 metres of outdoor track near the Joviniens city, on the banks of the Yonne river. The site sits in a rural area typical of northern Burgundy, in the Sens-Auxerre-Migennes triangle. Set halfway between Paris and the Côte d'Or, it's an interesting stop for travellers on the A6 and a local option for residents of the northern Yonne.

The 1,050-metre open-air layout offers a varied technical course, with straights long enough to push speeds and sequences that demand precision. Several kart engine sizes are available depending on driver level, from entry-level models for younger drivers to punchier versions for regulars chasing timed sessions. Conditions shift with continental weather : faster and drier in summer, more demanding on rainy days or humid winters. The site stays accessible for family initiation runs and regularly hosts kids' birthday parties, stag and hen parties, and corporate seminars.

Joigny is 1h30 from Paris via the A6 (exit 19) and 30 minutes from Auxerre. The region offers plenty to extend the visit : the historic centre of Joigny and its half-timbered houses, the medieval town of Chablis 30 minutes away, Auxerre and its Saint-Étienne cathedral, the Saint-Germain abbey and its Carolingian frescoes, or a detour to Vézelay (UNESCO basilica) or the Côte d'Or for heritage fans. A pleasant stop on the Paris-Lyon axis for travellers in motorway-avoidance mode.
