Two Week One Way Trip
Cruise North from Migennes to Sens, one of the oldest towns of Gaule, and the gothic cathedral of St Etienne is striking evidence of its past glories. The town also has a great choice of restaurants, shops and cinemas as well as a covered market close to the Cathedral.
Carry on cruising to the lively town of Montereau. From here the Upper Seine and the River Yonne quickly swings South onto the River Loing, joining the Canal du Loing at Moret sur Loing. There is time to visit this charming little town with its 12th Century dungeon and old winding streets, before setting off up the canal towards Nemours, beautifully situated in the rocky and wooded river valley.
