While this bridge allows you to cross the Aron River with a beautiful view of the river, when you look up you cannot ignore the statue of Notre-Dame du Nivernais which dominates from its abutment in the center of the city.

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.
