There are early 1,200 kilometres of canals and rivers virtually free of traffic for yachtsmen in Burgundy.
Burgundy's geographical location explains this wealth of navigable waterways.
The watershed of France's three main rivers is found in the heart of this region: the Seine, Loire, and Rhône.
In order to connect these three river basins, many canals have been built throughout Burgundy. Added to the Saône, Yonne, and Seille navigable rivers, they create an exceptionally valuable network for tourists.
To give you an idea of the daily distances travelled by boat, keep in mind that this depends on each waterway: the number of locks and speed limits directly influence the length of your journey.
