Shared pleasures
Located in the Burgundy region, in the Nièvre, the magnificent city of Decize is distinguished by its waterways, ancient remains and historical monuments. Also known as the "city of water", Decize is located at the confluence of several waterways, including the Aron river, the Nivernais canal, the canal Latéral à la Loire and the Vieille Loire. For pleasure boaters, it is an ideal destination for a short trip in a barge or a peaceful river cruise in a boat with family, as a couple or with friends.
In addition to the cruises, the greenway on the towpaths of the Nivernais canal gives you the opportunity to take a bike ride or a walk on foot. For the more adventurous, a canoe trip down the Loire or a spot of fishing will make them forget the passage of time. As for the children, they can enjoy a range of fun activities at the water sports center, such as electric boats and pedalos.
Between culture and tradition
So make the most of your stopover in Decize to admire and immortalize its historical heritage. In the heart of the city, head for the famous promenade des Halles, an avenue with tall plane trees hauled in from the sides of the boats in 1771. This will be an excellent point of departure for exploring its architectural marvels such as the ramparts, the former castle of the Counts of Nevers and its underground galleries. The church of Saint Aré, built in the 11th century, is also well worth a visit!
And if you're looking for entertainment during your stay, July is the month for you. You can attend the Festiv'Halles in Decize. Three days of festivities await you, with several free concerts on the program! Gourmets will take the opportunity to sample some specialties such as Toques nivernaises.
