Boat rental Burgundy - Nivernais, Loire

Nivernais Morvan
You will be just like in a dream if you choose to cruise on the Nivernais Canal, probably one of the most beautiful canals in France. It runs along the regional park of Morvan. The Nivernais Canal connects the Loire basin to the Seine basin through preserved nature. Steeped in History and tradition, this canal, built at the end of the 18th century, will unfold to you the story of timber floating from the Morvan to Paris.

Val de Loire - South Nivernais
Châtillon en Bazois is at the edge of the Morvan and the Nivernais. The Nivernais Canal runs through villages, valleys, hills, forests and alongside castles, and it is worth the view! At the junction of the canal du Nivernais and the Canal Latéral à la Loire, Decize is the veritable focal point of these waterways. On your way to Nevers and the Sancerre vineyards, feel the romance in the air, taste the local gastronomy and learn the history of this charming area.

Southern Burgundy
Digoin is a central point for canal boating. The town lies at the heart of the Charolais region and with its famous white cattle, but it is also at the junction of 3 canals. To the south, on the Canal de Roanne à Digoin, also called "the quiet canal", you will cruise in the middle of the fields of Brionnais along the Loire River. It is an invitation to make random stops in the shade of trees. To the east, the Canal du Centre between the Saône River and the Loire River runs through the Ceramic valley to Paray le Monial, a small town famous for its Roman Art. Then it brings you to the Maranges Vineyards, known as "Côtes Chalonnaises". To the north-west, the Canal Latéral à la Loire runs through historical towns like Decize and Nevers.

Loiret - Sologne 
In the heart of France, the Loiret region is a land of tradition between Sologne and the Loire castles.
From Briare southwards, you will cruise on the famous canal bridge built at the end of the 19th century by Gustave Eiffel. You will then reach Sancerre and taste the famous white wine and the no-less-famous goat cheese "crottin de Chavignol".
To the north, on the Canal de Briare, you will reach first Rogny, known for its 7 locks and then Montargis, known as the "little Venice" of Gâtinais, thanks to its canals and rivers which cut across the region. You will then cruise on the canal du Loing.
