Auxerre is the capital of Lower Burgandy and is built on a hillside beside the River Yonne. The old town has many interesting sites including cathedral and abbey, as well as a variety of interesting shops, markets and restaurants. The town is at the centre of the vineyard area, of which the most famous are Chablis and Irancy. It is about 4 to 5 hours drive from Boulogne or Calais.
 
There are numerous cruising options from here as the mooring is on the River Yonne, at the end of the Canal du Nivernais. The Canal du Burgogne is approx a half day cruise away. It is also possible to to reach Paris via the Yonne. During the winter months the boat can be used as a static base for exploring the surrounding countryside. Many owners enjoy Christmas or New Year with their families at Auxerre.
 
NOTE: Each owner (or one if joint owners), has to obtain an International Certificate of Competance (ICC), which includes the CEVNI test required by the French River authorities. These can be obtained from UK boat training schools, RYA or from a French training school.

The syndicate has a web site which is updated regularly with members contact details, latest accounts, news from the Secretary, Chairman and Engineer, holiday reports etc. Part of the web site is available for public viewing and contains more details of how the syndicate is run together with pictures of the boat. Owners are given a username and password giving access to the full site. The web site address is:- www.donjeux.freeforums.org
