A cruise through the Yonne River valley on the Canal du Nivernais takes you through a rural landscape. At every bend in the river, every lock offers a view from which the tower of a Romanesque church points unexpectedly skywards.
Don't miss historic Joigny with its renowned gastronomy, a cruise through the wide and winding valleym river with its vineyards and wooded hills, visit Villeneuve-sur-Yonne with its fortified gates and half-timbered houses, and St. Etienne in Sens.
