The village of Tanlay has a population of 1000 people. It has a boulangerie and a couple of restaurants where you can find the minimum necessities.
The port is well managed with deep water and suitable bollards, making it an excellent place to turn larger barges. The port has been one of our favourite places to moor as the surroundings are calm and restful.
The 16th Renaissance-style Chateau of Tanlay is a grand visit and an easy 2-minute walk from the canal port. There is a delightful restaurant beside the Chateau entrance called "La Basse Cour de Tanlay". You will also find an excellent 9-hole golf course within the castle grounds.
The village is somewhat in the middle of nowhere, which gives you plenty of cycling opportunities. For example, Chablis town center is only 26km away.
