Clamecy, Medieval commune in Nièvre, France
The town stands at the meeting point of the Yonne and Beuvron rivers, with narrow streets winding through its old district near the Nivernais Canal.
During the 16th century, Clamecy developed as a center for timber transportation to Paris through an innovative river floating system that operated until the 1900s.
The Church of Saint Martin, built between the 13th and 15th centuries, displays Gothic architecture with carved stone details and tall stained glass windows.
Visitors can explore the protected medieval center on foot, discovering preserved houses from the 13th to 16th centuries along cobblestone streets.
The Festival des Perthuis brings musicians to perform throughout the town each summer, using different venues from churches to riverside locations.
