The
charming Canal du Nivernais, reputed to be one of the prettiest in
France, winds peacefully between Auxerre and Decize through rolling
meadows, hillside vineyards, rocky outcrops and forests. Picture-postcard scenery and pretty canal-side villages line your route and the slow pace of life on land superbly mirrors your gentle cruise along the region’s peaceful waterways. It is easy to see how these peaceful landscapes inspired the Impressionists of the day. |
