Boat rental Louhans

The Seille River, a tributary of the River Saône, is a superb river which runs through the Bresse Bourguignonne area, famous for its chickens "poulets de Bresse". There you can discover the quiet charms of its wetlands and its half-timbered houses. From Louhans, you can cruise through a wildlife reserve created in 1980 and its mosaic of different natural environments like marshy ponds, peat bogs and dunes covered with lichens and moss. Louhans is a vibrant and picturesque city, its main street lined with 157 arcades and frontages from the 16th century. Every Monday it hosts the famous farmers market. You can also reach the River Saône, and then the Santenay or Mâcon vineyards.
