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.

Our bases at Migennes, Chatel Censoir, Tannay and Decize provide perfect starting points for your cruise, with cruising on the Canal du Nivernais, River Yonne and the Canal de Bourgogne also possible.
