The canals of Bourgogne have existed since the 16th century and share their water with the English Channel, the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean. Bourgogne is the number one region of fluvial tourism and is an exceptional place for the busy people of the 21st century to escape to.
Along the canal of Bourgogne, sailors and walkers can discover the houses and abbeys of Auxois, and the legacy of the dukes of Dijon. They can be soothed by relaxing waters of the canal of Marne à la Saône. The canal du Centre will guide visitors towards the vineyards and to the heart of an incredible industrial heritage. By following the canal de Roanne à Digoin, the churches of Brionnnais can be admired. The canal along the Loire valley, the “last wild river� reveals an exceptional ecosystem. The canal de Briare, and its incredible site of the Sept Écluses takes the visitor to the gates of the Puisaye. Finally, the canal du Nivernais, known for the floating of logs down the river and divided by 117 locks, has many charms and an unforgettable route. |
