Clamecy
Clamecy is in the Nièvre department of northern Burgundy, to the west of Vezelay.
Set in the wooded landscape of the Yonne Valley, Clamecy is an attractive small town. It lies at the confluence of the Rivers Yonne and Beuvron, and also the Canal du Nivernais. This riverside location made the town an important centre for wood transportation from the 16th-19th centuries, when wood was transported along the Yonne River by floating it downstream.
There are some very pretty medieval houses in the town, often in colombage, based in the region around the Saint-Martin church and along the Rue de la Monnaie -you will enjoy exploring the narrow pedestrian streets and discovering impressive buildings at each turn.
There is also a curious byzantine style church (not my thing but worth a look!)
It is also pleasant to walk along the canal - barge holidays in the region are also popular on the canal.
The town of Clamency is a listed 'Ville Fleurie. So has lots of flowers!
For a little excursion, pass through the quaint villages to the south-west of the town, such as Donzy and Varzy.
