Peaceful rivers
The Yonne
The source of this river begins on the soft plains of the Gâtinais, in the wooded hills of Morvan, for a journey to the heart of the iconic region of Burgundy.
The Saône
This majestic river is often cited as one of the most beautiful in France. The atmosphere is so peaceful here at the former natural border of Burgundy.
The Seille
The Seille is a quiet tributary of the Saône, and is a popular choice for those looking for getaways in the great outdoors. It is possible to sail along 39 km of this waterway, from the Truchère lock, near Tournus, to the picturesque town of Louhans in Bresse, through an unspoilt natural environment.
