Description of
the boating holiday
Hire a canal barge from Joigny to St Florentin
Discover the charm of Burgundy by canal boat. Visit Joigny to explore its Renaissance castle and Michelin-starred restaurant, stroll along the canal in Laroche-Migennes, and admire the stained glass windows of the Saint-Florent church in Saint-Florentin. An unforgettable cruise.
Located just 1 hour from Paris by TGV (2 hours by car), our base in Joigny on the Yonne is ideally situated for a boat trip without a license. Whether for a weekend, a few days, or a week, navigating in Burgundy means cruising on the Yonne, constantly discovering more of France's history on one of the most renowned networks in our country.
Joigny
With a beautiful panorama, you'll be amazed by the reflection of the water on which the old façades of the town are outlined. Take the opportunity to visit the artist exhibitions at the Renaissance Château of the Gondi. For gourmet cuisine lovers: the renowned restaurant "La Côte St Jacques," awarded two Michelin stars, located on the banks of the Yonne River.
Laroche-Migennes
Laroche-Migennes is a must-visit town for railway enthusiasts, with its historic station, an important railway junction since the 19th century. During a walk along the Burgundy Canal, you'll discover the Laroche-Migennes marina.
St Florentin
This lively town offers the opportunity to visit various shops and enjoy a well-deserved meal at a restaurant. Once moored, the Saint-Florent Church is just a few steps away. While there, take the time to admire the beautiful stained glass windows and the panoramic view from the Prieuré terrace.
It is time to think about the return leg of your journey. Look out again for the favourite places you found so far, or maybe stop off at some new ones as you cruise back to the starting base at Joigny.
