Canal Cruising

Canal Nivernais, Burgundy, France Cruise along the waterways of Burgundy, stopping off when and where you please. No licence is needed for these boats sleeping 2 - 12 people. See our canals map to get your bearings and Paul Evan's write-up on his trip from Gray.

Travelling gently along the canals, you will pass unspoiled countryside and tiny villages. The frequent locks, proudly maintained and decorated with baskets of geraniums by their keepers, provide a distraction to the beautiful scenery en route, as well as some welcome exercise.
