"Good experience."

Cruise carried out on Jul 8, 2023, ContinentaleCruise : Decize round trip
"A very natural cruise, if you're looking for total relaxation, the Canal du Nivernais is perfect. However, next time we'll choose an itinerary with fewer locks, as navigation depends on their opening times."
