Canal lateral a la Loire, Canal du Nivernais, Canal du Centre, Canal de Roanne a Digoin:
- Along the castles, abbeys and medieval villages, in Decize the Canal lateral meets the Loire again and the pleasureIn Decize, you can choose either the Canal Nivernais or the Canal lat. a la Loire.
The port of Dompierre-sur-Besbre opens the gateway from the canal bridge in Digoin to the Canal du Centre, dug since the 18th century along the Roanne and Châlon/Saône.
This tranquil canal, which even briefly flirts with the Loire, cuts through a beautiful region. Charolais, famous for its steak cattle, is also a land of monasteries, churches and medieval villages. But neither the Cistercian monastery of Sept-Fonds in Dompierre, nor the Romanesque churches of Semur-en-Brionnais or the basilica of Paray-le-Monial will make you forget all the vibrant gastronomic delights of the region.
At Decize, you sail a short distance down the Loire past the lush landscapes and forests of the Morvan massif into the southern Nivernais Canal.
The scenery and architecture of the Nivernais are as inviting as the bottle of Chablis served with quail.
