Departure from Clamecy (Nièvre) (Nièvre)
Head up to the hills above Clamecy to discover another vantage point over the ‘Little Venice of the Nièvre’, as Romain Rolland liked to describe it.
Your gaze will first be drawn to the River Yonne, the statue of the raftsman and the Church of Notre-Dame-de-Bethléem, a reminder of the bishopric, which was exiled to Clamecy in the 13th century.
From Sembert, Clamecy and its medieval historic centre seem nestled amidst lush countryside, traversed by the River Yonne and the Nivernais Canal, one of the most beautiful canals in Europe.
