The old wooden construction can be seen in many of the buildings.
Despite the ancient buildings, there was a library where we could use the internet!
Our plan was to head up the Yonne to Auxerre, and then into the Canal de Nivernaise.
The boat was an old 'Bounty Boat' called 'Bouccanier' - an ex Crown Blue charter boat.
She was a GRP boat, about 39 feet in length.
She served us well, but her helm position was right forward. This together with a very flat bottom made steering a straight line somewhat problematic.
So we set off up stream. First night - Migennes........
