River tourism
Heritage sites and discoveries on the water’s edge
Water is everywhere in Burgundy, it has shaped life and livelihoods here since the dawn of time. Today, it is recreational boaters and visitors who can explore the treasures of the region from the canals and rivers: châteaux, towns such as Joigny, Auxerre and Sens are all great places to explore. Drop your anchors! Between two stopovers, you could also stop off to explore a lock keeper's house that has been converted into a traditional "guinguette" or swap your boat for a bike!
