Nivernais Canal

Highlight • Other

The Nivernais canal is the least used of the four canals running through Burgundy. It connects the Loire river to the Yonne river near Auxerre, via a 196 kilometer route. It was abandoned at the end of the seventies and was recently rehabilitated. Its route is very quiet and crosses a relatively unknown microregion.

we are now happy to be able to drive along the Canal du Nivernais.
It is more entertaining here than the part we drove along the Loire.
Here too, the place names are mounted upside down to protest.
Here from the internet:
Upside-down place names as a sign of protest


Because it is based on French movements that addressed national and European politics in November 2023. Almost 10,000 signs were turned upside down at town entrances in France at the time to symbolize the situation.
