The Burgundy Canal
Linking up the the Yonne and Saône rivers, the Burgundy canal first flows through the valley of the Armançon and makes its way through a 3 300 long canal tunnel near Pouilly-en-Auxois before joining the Saône at Saint-Jean-de-Losne. Departure bases with boat rental berths include Brienon-sur-Armançon, Tonnerre, Vénarey-les-Laumes, Pouilly-en-Auxois, Saint-Florentin and Saint-Jean-de-Losne. Among the many attractions to see near the banks of the the Burgundy Canal are the Chateau de Tanlay the exceptional cistercian Abbey de Fontenay (a world heritage site) the mediaeval village of Chateauneuf. Canal mariners can even stop at Dijon where the Duke of Burgundy left such a rich heritage of architectural treasures.
