~ Barge Cruises in France ~
Burgundy - Dijon II

Verdant vineyards and peaceful hamlets

Cruise the rivers and canals of France aboard a luxury 6-passenger barge-hotel (7days - 6 nights). This barge cruises some of the most peaceful and beautiful waterways in Europe: Canal de Bourgogne, Canal du Centre and the River Saône. On this classic cruise you will go through the famed wine region of Côte d'Or, where some legendary Grands Crus and Premiers Crus originate. You will recognize wine labels such as Meursault, Montrachet, Clos de Vougeot, Pommard and Santenay, and you will sample local wines that are rarely available outside France.

This small barge offers gracious elegance and amenities that epitomize the concept of ultimate luxury. The salon has a grand piano and large windows to let you admire the passing countryside. All barge cabins feature canopied beds with large bathrooms.
