Day 3

Decize

Situated at the confluence of the Loire, the Canal du Nivernais and the Canal Latéral à la Loire, this town resembles an island. The Church of Saint-Aré - with its Merovingian crypt - and the clock tower, are the most striking landmarks in Decize.

Cercy-la-Tour

This village takes its name from the Tower of the old feudal castle, of which only ruins now remain. The village is pleasant, especially when strolling the small lanes leading to a terrace which overlooks the whole valley.

Décize

Overlooking the rocky island of the Loire, Decize is a former fortified town that offers visitors a rewarding stop filled with heritage discoveries. With five bridges to cross, the town is a strategic hub for transportation routes. This unique geographical position makes it an essential stop in the heart of France. The town thrived thanks to the transport of goods by river and recreational boating, with the Port de la Jonction and its 80 mooring rings serving as its main ambassador. Decize is also nicknamed "Fishermen’s Paradise" due to its abundance of fish, offering wonderful surprises of all sizes such as zander, chub, perch, pike, and catfish.
