This hotel is nicely situated by the river with a terrace out the front near the river. It is a 10 minute walk across the bridge to the centre of Joigny.

We ate there at the end of 3 weeks in France (2 weeks Paris, 1 week on the Burgandy Canal). The meal we had at the Rive Gauche... More

I was a little hesitant on the hotels in the small towns outside of Paris, but was pleasantly surprised with both the town and the hotel. The hotel sits on the Yonn River, which separates the town into two halves. The location creates a great view of the older part of the town across the river. They own the parkland,... More
