Just like
in your dream, at the gates of the National Park of
the Morvan, the Nivernais canal, built at the
end of the 18th century, is probably the most beautiful
canal in France and it links the Loire basin to the Seine
basin, across preserved nature. Full of history and tradition,
this canal will tell you the story of the shipping of
timber from the Morvan region to Paris.
Châtillon-en-Bazois, on the Nivernais Canal is
located between the Nivernais and the Morvan areas. The
Nivernais Canal runs along castles, rivers, through valleys,
plains, hills and forests which give this country a natural
dimension that makes it a place to see. Located at the
meeting point of the Nivernais canal and of the Canal
Latéral à la Loire, Decize is really at
the junction of waterways. Romantic strolls, gastronomic
stops and historic trips are looking forward to your
visit while sailing up along the river to Nevers then
the Sancerre vineyards.
Digoin,
a central point for canal boating, lies in the heart
of the Charollais region and with its famous oxen,
but it is also at the junction of 3 canals. To the south,
on the Canal from Roanne to Digoin, also called “the
quiet canal”, you will cruise right in the middle
of the fields of the Brionnais region along the Loire
river, an invitation to make random stops in the shade
of trees.
