Les Voûtes de La Collancelle

Under the dense vegetation, a 760 m long tunnel suddenly appears, reminding us that the Canal du Nivernais, as wild as it seems, was created by man. The exploration of this timeless space, which is also called "the little Amazon" (you will understand when you get there).
The vaults are called: La Collancelle, Mouas and Breuil. These are the three galleries dug in the granite and porphyry of "La Montagne" of La Collancelle to allow the passage of the Canal. A 4 km furrow dug between the Baye pond and the hamlet of Port-Brûlé.

A trip in an electric boat allows you to pass under these splendid arches. Duration of the trip 1h30 to be reserved with Aquafluavial at 03.86.38.90.70. During the summer period, you have the possibility of taking guided cruises.

On the initiative of the Syndicat Mixte d'Equipement Touristique du Canal du Nivernais, an itinerary linking 2 tunnels of the Voûtes along the Canal has been developed. It is safe and accessible to people with reduced mobility.
