Plagny, round trip, 10 nights

During your river cruise, don’t miss the majestic 12th-century medieval castle of Chevenon, an impressive vertical structure. With family, stop at the Chevenon ponds, where the area has been redeveloped into Zébulle Parc: fishing zones, supervised swimming, beach area, picnic spots, and children’s play areas.

Decize, a rocky island at the crossroads of Burgundy’s waterways, blends nature and heritage. From the Port de la Jonction, follow the ramparts circuit, explore castle ruins, or stroll along the tree-lined Halles Promenade, planted in 1771. Alternatively, enjoy cycling routes along the Nivernais Canal or the Tour of Burgundy by Bike.

Relax in nature on the Canal du Nivernais, with opportunities for fishing, hiking, and canoeing down the Aron to Decize. Don’t miss the 12th-century Church of Saint-Laurent and its remarkable mural, The Three Living and the Three Dead, nearly 8 meters long.

A picturesque Mayenne canal stop, perched on a stream confluence. Wander its Romanesque church and climb the old donjon for panoramic valley views.

Perched on a rocky promontory above the Nivernais Canal, Châtillon’s castle is visible from your boat. Park, gardens, and interior can be visited in summer (mid-July to late August).
