Gannay
Gannay is an attractive village on the
banks of the Loire just south of the fortified island town of Decize.
Cruising to the north takes you to Nevers, the historic capital of the
Duc's de Nivernais where many ancient vestiges remain to be visited. The
canal continues through delightful countryside past ancient towns and
fine Chateaux to Sancerre, famed for its wines, and on to Briare where
the canal crosses the Loire via Ieffel's famous aquaduct. The Loire offers
much to see, a distinct regional cuisine and a wide variety of excellent
wines.
Moissac
The Western end of the Canal du Midi
is less well known and subsequently less crowded than the stretches closer
to the Mediterranean. This is surprising given the charms of Aquitaine
where a treasure trove of historical sites; bastides, abbeys and cathedrals,
compete with magnificent scenery for your attention. This region is also
home to the Grand Wines of Bordeaux and is famous the
world over for its
astronomy.
Our starting point of Mossiac is perfectly placed to enjoy these charms
and this, coupled with the luxury of the EuroClassics will allow you to
enjoy the Midi in style and comfort.
The Canal du Nivernais
Cruise the Canal du Nivernais and visit Auxerre, Vezelay, Clemacy and Chablis,
taste the food, enjoy the wines!!! A visit to the little town of Clemacy
with its port should not be missed. There is a small shopping centre
and it's a good place to refill the food cupboard and the drinks cabinet
too!!!!

There
is plenty to see in the fortified island town of Decize,
with lovely
restaurants to be enjoyed.
