Plagny

From your departure base, you can easily reach the Nevers river port by boat via a branch of the Canal latéral à la Loire. This City of Art and History, once the capital of faience pottery, boasts a rich architectural heritage: the Ducal Palace, the Bohier Tower, the Saint-Cyr–Sainte-Julitte Cathedral, and more. Car racing fans take note: the famous Magny-Cours circuit is just ten kilometers from Plagny,about 40 minutes by bike.

Chevenon medieval castle

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

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.

Verneuil

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.
