| Cruising the Yonne and the Canal du Nivernais
you enter a rural landscape subtly changing at every bend and lock, an
occasional romanesque church marking the skyline.
The cliffs of Saussois, good for rock climbing if you’re so inclined, the old towns of Clamecy and Chatel Censois, the stunning excursion to Vézelay, the fine restaurants of Auxerre and of Joigny, the whole Nivernais scene is as superb as a chablis with a fine meal. The Canal de Bourgogne leads you between avenues of poplars, their leaves rustling in the wind, to the heart of the Renaissance, to an age when the dukes of Burgundy vied for power of the kingdom of France itself. |
From it’s abbeys to the manor houses, from
Tonnerre to the great Chateau of Tanlay and Ancy le Franc, the glories
of the region's architecture and its landscape combine in splendour.
