The Yonne is a well-regulated river that also gives access, among other things, to the Canal de Bourgogne. More and more visitors are attracted by this quiet transport mode that also allows historical stops, such as the Renaissance castles of Tanley or Ancy-Le-Franc. Most boats are also adapted to onboard activities and relaxation.
