Car Hire in Saint Florentin - Mini guide to Saint Florentin

Located in the Yonne département of the Bourgogne region of north central France, Saint-Florentin features a recently reconstructed port managed by the Rive de France Company and a wonderful open-air market. The small town of under 6,000 people is located on the well known Canal of Burgundy whose beginnings go back to the early 1600s. It was an unpopular move at first as the funds were raised to build the canal by taxing the local area farmers. Archeological findings actually date the human history of the region back to the Paleolithic Era between 120,000 and 35,000 BC.

There are many ways of touring the area including barge cruises, bike touring and by rental car. Whether art or cuisine stimulates your desire to tour the area, you will not be disappointed while exploring along the canal. There are a variety of waterside cafes and bars, art stands and, of course, the renowned open-air market mentioned above. Additionally, the region is famous for its wine, something that the entire country is well-known for.

The Burgundy region is also famous for the sport of hot air ballooning, which was the invention of the Montgolfier brothers. A ride above the vineyards of the Saone River valley is highly recommended to complete your visit to the Burgundy region. Spectacular in every aspect of the sport is the massive forty balloon take-off that signals the start of the festival at Chalon sur Saône every June.

Bicycling, camping, fishing and hunting facilities are found throughout the region. Additionally, the region is also known for the many bed and breakfast establishments that are all renowned for providing travelers with a more personalized form of lodging.
