Burgundy 7-day Luxury Barge Tour
This smart, renovated hotel barge cruises the Nivernais Canal, through beautiful Burgundy, thought by many to be the most beautiful region of France. Round every bend the vista changes, as the waterway weaves through the heart of Burgundy’s beautiful scenery. The owners began cruising in 1976, and their experience is evident from the attention to detail on board. The crew of six maintain the warm yet professional atmosphere, so appreciated by guests.
The barge accommodates twelve passengers in eight en-suite cabins, with an attractive saloon and inviting sundeck. On board, guests experience the gastronomy of France with fine regional wines and delicious gourmet meals. The week’s itinerary combines cruising with daily excursions in the barge’s private bus, to famous vineyards for wine tasting, Medieval towns, historic châteaux and colorful markets. While your barge cruises the canal, soak up the sun on deck or stroll down the towpath. There are also have bicycles for those wishing to explore nearby villages.

Floating along the Nivernais Canal was a delightful experience. Lovely vistas, visits to pristine rural areas, cool fall weather. The best part of the trip was the wonderful Captain and crew. Always cheerful and attentive, you made our trip memorable. And special thanks to the chef. You made imaginative, interesting, delicious meals in a very confined place.Thank you to all the crew ... you gave us happy memories. - 2019
