For fresh water

Time flows with the flow of water

Canal, Loire, river, thermal spring… here water shapes landscapes and experiences with infinite gentleness. On the channel, she sets the tempo; on the banks of the Loire, it plays with its reflections; between ponds and rivers, it delights walkers and fishermen!

How about taking the helm of a pleasure boat to navigate the Nivernais Canal, one of the most beautiful canals in France? Greet Our Lady of Cercy-la-Tour and enjoy an incredible landscape: the picture extends endlessly on the horizon, between the Canal, the surrounding bocage and the Morvan mountains. Walk up the waterway at your own pace and capture the magical moment when the Château de Châtillon-en-Bazois is revealed before your eyes, proudly standing on its rocky peak, from the height of its thousand years of history.

Nature reserves some unforgettable panoramas for you, those that come to you and touch you. Since the banks of the Loire Burgundian, let yourself be surprised by its multiple facets. This last wild river in Europe reveals its wild banks rich in biodiversity. Between relaxation spots and unusual places, escape, on foot, by bike or by boat!

Between ponds and rivers, follow the flow of the water and savor the simple pleasures of a stroll. Enjoy the gentleness of the banks that border our waterways and the tranquility of the bocages crisscrossed with streams. In the valleys crossed by white water up to the peaks of the Morvan des summits, fresh water accompanies you to help you discover the Rives du Morvan in another way.
