You are on the border between Nivernais and Burgundy. The proximity to Paris (about 2.5 hours away) makes this location attractive. Numerous historic villages and towns, the coves of 3 waterways, rocks and woods attract you to stop. Do not miss the beauty of ancient Auxerre or Mailly-le-Chateau with its interesting rock outcrop. There are opportunities for fishing and climbing on the walls of the Saussois.

Along the Canal de Bourgogne you will discover cultural treasures, stunning chateaux, restaurants and markets in Saint-Florentin, Tonnerre, Tanlay and Montbard. The Canal latéral à la Loire takes you across the Briar Aqueduct to the hilltop village of Sancerre and its famous vineyards. Visit the book town of La Charité-sur-Loire, the old shipbuilding town of Marseilles-les-Aubigny and the Roman town of Nevers, each of which has a rich history. .
