The Burgundy
region of France is beautiful cruising country; add to this the regions wines
and cuisine,
you have all
you need for that perfect holiday!
As
part of our ever expanding service, we are now able to offer the daily services
of a 'Skipper'
for those
who would
rather not become involved in driving the boat.
It is not a boat charter as such,
he does
not sleep on
board, but will
look after
and steer it during the day whilst you are cruising.
After a few days of consuming either of the local wines, Burgundy Red or chilled
Chablis, you may
wish for some
exercise and for a modest fee you will be able
to hire a bicycle for riding on the tow
path and
exploring the villages
and
small towns along the way. You can also hire a BBQ stove, but here
you
must
be
sure not
to set fire to the
surrounding trees or the boat!! It is possible
to arrange a "one way"
cruise.
This means you do not have to look at
all the same things on the way back down that you saw on the
way up.
The
Canal du Nivernais is very quiet and it is fair to say that the only thing canal
cruising in France has
in common
with canal cruising in England is water! The
canal winds its way through a rural area dotted with
little
villages and
small
towns, most of which have charming restaurants just waiting to be discovered.
All the
locks are manned by
Lock Keepers so you do not have to get involved unless
you want to. All you have to do
is throw your rope ashore and
they will do the
rest.
