Burgundy

Burgundy is one of the most famous and beautiful regions of France, with the Canal du Nivernais and Canal de Bourgogne offering some of the most attractive canal & river cruising to be found anywhere in the world.
Add to this Burgundy's reputation for fine wine such as Chablis & Sancerre and it's gastronomy and you have the perfect ingredients for a most memorable French boating holiday

Our base at Vermenton is ideally placed for you to discover the rustic charm of the canal du Nivernais.
The Nivernais is often described as France's most beautiful canal, a reputation that is well deserved.
The fine wines and excellent restaurants also merit a similar reputation and the regional cuisine is not to be missed.
Vermenton not only offers the Nivernais, but also gives access to the River Yonne and the stunning medieval city of Auxerre.

St Florentin is a bustling town with many shops and restaurants, and is the gateway to the green and undulating countryside that characterises the Canal de Bourgogne.
Skirting the Chablis wine vineyards the Canal de Bourgogne meanders through green pastures and is studded with many historic towns and Chateaux.
Opportunities abound to step ashore and to sample the excellent local food and wines.
The river Yonne is also accessable from St Florentin and is perfect for those who also enjoy river cruising.
