Day 1 Arrival in Auxerre
You arrive in Auxerre, a town of art and history, which has preserved an exceptional architectural heritage through the ages: St Etienne’s Cathedral, a model of elegance of the Gothic style, St Germain Abbey, an almost intact monastic complex..
3 stars hotel in family room.
Option of supper in a brasserie next to the Yonne river.
Day 2 Auxerre – Accolay 24 km
You leave Auxerre and you quickly find yourself on the riverside of the Yonne river and the Canal du Nivernais. You follow the route of the “Bois de Flottage”: in the Middle Ages, the Forest of Morvan produced the wood that was destined for the inhabitants of Paris. This wood was transported to the capital on rafts. If you wish, a small diversion will take you to the Ulteria farm, where you will meet the 70 goats of Claire’s goat farm. After this stop, you take the towpath to Accolay, a charming little village on the riverside of the Canal. Accommodation in a guest house (2 rooms side by side).
Day 3 Accolay 2- Mailly la Ville 10 km/27 km
Riding along the Canal, you can enjoy this charming, multi-faceted itinerary. At Prégilbert, a stop at the Ecluse des Dames allows children to enjoy the Parc à Bout, a walk in the trees, a trampoline… and the opportunity to taste pancakes, waffles, ice cream… Then there are a few kilometres to go before arriving in Mailly la Ville. If the weather allows it, you will be able to take advantage of the swimming facilities. Unless you want to drive a few more kilometres and discover Mailly le Château and Les Rochers du Saussois in Merry sur Yonne.
Day 4 Back to Auxerre
After breakfast you are transferred back to Auxerre.
