One of the most interesting villages along the canal. The very
picturesque old houses on the canal side of the village always please
visitors. The history and calm of the working abbey captures everybody's
attention. The village is actually split into two very distinct parts,
"La Forge" with the canal running through, and on the other
side of the Ouche, "La Bussiere", with
the 11th century Cistercian abbey.
The village still has a post office (open in the afternoons).
There is a newly built cafe, replacing a recently burnt down version.
The only grocer shop has closed down. This village is an excellent
halt along your cruise, the abbey, village and surrounding countryside
are full of interest.

Moorings
Due to certain barges provoking generator noise, and a new neighbour,
you can no long moor below lock 26, closer than 200 meters. There
is a fresh water supply tap just below the same lock, (to the right
on the photo below), ask the lock keeper.
