Spoilt for choice!

A huge network of rivers across Europe

Since the 17th century, Burgundy has been shaping the biggest network of waterways in France. From log floaters to wine transport, each canal can tell you all about the history of the sailors there, and is worth the detour.

Cast off and just let the waters carry you. Along the way, you can stop off wherever you feel like it, maybe take advantage of the locks to stop and walk along the towpaths and make some new discoveries.
