AUXERRE TO CLAMECY
CRUISING THE NIVERNAIS CANAL
Cruise the canal by barge from Auxerre to Clamecy
OUR BARGE CRUISE ROUTE
The waterway on which we operate is beautiful and dramatic, rated by experienced barge travellers as one of the finest cruise routes in Europe. Embracing both river and man-made canal, the Nivernais preserves the character of 150 years ago.

We cruise through lands where Charolais cows graze by the water's edge. Stone-built villages stand invitingly, with their painted shutters and doorways framed in roses. Centuries-old locks mark the way, a contact with a life-style where hustle knows no place.
