Burgundy - Loire

(not available in 2012)

Cruise the rivers and canals of Burgundy aboard a 4-passenger barge-hotel (7 days - 6 nights). Built in 1908 at Ouderkeek in the Netherlands, the barge was refurbished in 2008 and accommodates four passengers in two luxury cabins. The passenger areas are all on a single deck, located well above the water line. The sun deck provides the perfect place to relax and enjoy the passing scenery while cruising through southern and western Burgundy. Or you may watch the countryside glide by from the large picture windows of the spacious lounge. This is the ideal barge for a family vacation.
