Aquitane

We are pleased to announce that we have opened two new bases for the 2006 season, one at Gannay sur Loire which is on the River Loire just south of the fortified island town of Decize, and the other at Mossiac which is between Toulouse Bordeaux, close to the
Canal du Midi.

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.
