Fontenoy le Chateau - Gray (or vice versa)
A classic cruise on the Canal de L’Est and the peaceful River Saône. Relax beside the ornamental fountains at Jussey. Enjoy the bustling market town of Port-sur-Saône and the lively Saturday market at Gray before returning to Fontenoy-le-Château with its cobbled streets and delightful old-world charm.
Base manager Didier Ketterle welcomes you to Fontenoy le Château. Fontenoy- le-Chateau is a small market town, divided by the River Coney, with bags of character. It used to be a large town during the Middle Ages, but has since shrunk. The atmosphere though has remained the same and walking around the town’s cobbled streets is a very pleasant experience indeed..
Base Manager Olivier Turpin welcomes you to Gray. We’re sure you will never tire of cruising these beautiful waterways – there’s so many places to visit, wines to taste and sights to see. Your base at Gray on the River Soane was once a thriving port for the wine, wheat and iron trades and evidence of the region’s rich cultural and trading heritage is plain to see in the surrounding towns, villages and countryside. Medieval and Renaissance-era homes, churches and monasteries – many topped by the region’s distinctive multihued tiles roofs – line your route in every direction and are sure to add to your lasting memories of this beautiful region..
