The Logis Saint-François

Located in the village of Vermenton, the hotel has been recently fully renovated and is ideally situated for cruising the Canal Du Nivernais between Auxerre and Clamecy. This groups-only hotel is operated by the family who own the nearby Abbaye de Reigny, where you’ll be dining on one of the evenings. This is a comfortable and quiet hotel that has an appeal all of its own in its simplicity, generosity of space and warmth of welcome.

Organised by BBC Wildlife Magazine in partnership with Backwaters cruises. Exact details of the reader holiday may be subject to change.
