Burgundy-Loire

DOMPIERRE-SUR-BESBRE
Canal latéral à la Loire, Canal du Nivernais, du Centre, Canal de Roanne à Digoin
DOMPIERRE

Dompierre in Southern Burgundy Loire is a crossroads offering a choice of discoveries.  Lining the canal banks are chateaux, abbeys and medieval villages.

 The magnificent Digoin aqueduct takes you on to the Canal du Centre, built in the 18th century to link Roanne to Chalon sur Saône. 

The Canal de Roanne à Digoin leads to Roanne, a synonym for gastronomy all over France, but famous also for china and faience.  At Decize the lateral canal meets the Loire, and river bathing is a treat.  Salmon and shad swim up here from the distant sea to spawn.

Take the canal du Nivernais and cruise through ravishing countryside to the secret heart of the Morvan, or visit Nevers, steeped in history.  Crossing high above the Allier on the Guetin aqueduct, you’ll enjoy magnificent vistas across many famous vineyards to pretty villages such as Sancerre and St Satur.
