Discover - Clamecy

City of beautiful reflections and soft hills…

Nested in the valley of the hills, the city with its gardens, its hovels, its rags, its treasures, the earth, and harmony of its elongated body, and its head topped by his openwork tower. “Romain Rolland”

Clamecy, small town of the Nièvre in Burgundy, is located about 2 h 30 mins away from Paris. Capital of the wooden floats, the medieval town of Clamecy knows how to welcome and entertain you. Clamecy has been twinned with the city of Gelnhausen (Germany) since 1962 and the city of Grandes-Piles (Québec) since 1996.

In the heart of the city, the Hostellerie de la Poste, ideally located near major tourist sites, will be the starting point for your visits and excursions.

About fifty workers take up a challenge, among, carriers, stone cutters, masons, lumberjacks, carpenters, blacksmiths, tillers, carters, basket-makers, tailors… build a real castle day after day in front of thousands of visitors.”

A Vineyard to Discover

After several centuries of prosperity, the vineyard of Tannay had almost disappeared. In 1995, when only 40 hectares remained, a handful of enthusiasts decides to upgrade this forgotten place and to reconnect with the wine tradition of yesteryears. The Melon and Chardonnay grape varieties were mainly replanted.

Pinot and Gamay complete the vineyard. The Melon is a grape variety originating in Burgundy. By restoring them and giving them a place of choice in their production, the vine growers have chosen to preserve the typicality of their wine heritage.

Cellar masters and producers welcome you to the Tannaysian cellars, located in the heart of the village of Tannay. Knock on the door of the independent winemakers, they will open their domain to you. In Clamecy, the cellars also offer other wines and spirits. Ask us for our addresses.
