Cruise carried out on Apr 8, 2024, Tarpon 42Cruise : Chatillon en Bazois aller/retour
"Agréable, dépaysant, formateur, exigeant - liberté de choix des haltes et temps de pause - personnel en charge des écluses vraiment au top et trés agréable - contacts chaleureux et directs."

Cruise carried out on Aug 23, 2023, Corvette BCruise : Tannay aller/retour
"There are a lot of locks to go through in the sector we've chosen."

Cruise carried out on Aug 23, 2023, CapriceCruise : Decize aller/retour
"In 3 days, you don't navigate very far, but the main aim was to stroll along the canal, no matter how far we went."

Cruise carried out on Jul 23, 2023, HorizonCruise : Tannay aller/retour
"Very nice, but next time I'll take a route with fewer locks to cross (we passed 80 in total)."
 
5
Cruise carried out on Jul 8, 2023, ContinentaleCruise : Decize aller/retour
"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."

Cruise carried out on Jul 12, 2023, Vision 3Cruise : Migennes aller/retour
"Very nice. But if we had to do it again, we'd choose a river with slightly fewer locks. We preferred the more rustic Canal du Nivernais section."
