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 and cruising along the Canal du Nivernais , one of the most beautiful canals in France? Pay homage to Notre-Dame de Cercy-la-Tour and enjoy the incredible scenery: the landscape stretches endlessly to the horizon, between the canal, the surrounding countryside, and the Morvan hills. Travel upstream at your own pace and capture the magical moment when the Château de Châtillon-en-Bazois, proudly perched atop its rocky outcrop, reveals itself to you, steeped in a thousand years of history.

Nature offers you some unforgettable panoramas, the kind that draw you in and touch you deeply. From the banks of the Loire in Burgundy, let yourself be surprised by its many facets. This last wild river in Europe reveals its pristine banks, rich in biodiversity. Between relaxing 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.
