Penichette bien située et amaree entre canal et étang. Endroit très sympa et tranquille. Suffisant pour 2 personnes. Seul bémol pour notre séjour : il faisait bien trop chaud pour en profiter correctement !!!Bien placée pour visiter les environs ( Vézelay....) et faire du vélo.Bonnes explications de l'hôte pour les informations concernant la penichette.

Le Sittèle, petit bateau qui ne paie pas de mine mais dans lequel nous avons très bien dormi.L'intérieur est aussi petit qu'un appartement parisien mais bien pensé et pratique finalement.Nous avons apprécié le toit ouvrant qui permet de rafraîchir l'habitacle et d'observer les étoiles filantes avant de s'endormir.Le propriétaire est sympathique et arrangeant.

Bel endroit...plutot pour les -60 ans !!!

Site tres nature au bord de l'eau : canal d'un côté, plan d'eau de l'autre ce que nous recherchions !Tres calme... des que les rares touristes ont été partis, vers 18h.Bateau bien agencé pour deux selon notre point de vue de 'vieux'.Seul bemol pour les vieux : l'accès au lit est celui d'un bateau et demande donc un peu de souplesse...Sinon, super etape !!
