Boating Holidays across the canals and rivers of Europe from Le Boat

Jarnac Base

Situated on the gentle banks of the Charente, Jarnac remembers the time when its port welcomed salt and wine in abundance. The town quickly became a large trade center because of its position in the middle for the production area for the well known" life water" of Cognac.
