Burgundy...
Boasts some of the world's finest wines with almost 60,000 acres
of sun-lit vines and arguably the prettiest canal in France.
The Nivernais Canal randomly meanders along the path of the
picturesque River Yonne. This delightful exchange brings you the finest
cruising in Burgundy. Medieval villages are surrounded by unspoiled
countryside where gastronomic delights are a culture in themselves.
Taste the famous escargots, dine on a typical meal of Poulet aux Romarin
en Papillotes, or Truite � la Chablisienne accompanied by a full-bodied
Burgundian red wine or lighter Chablis white. Simply indulge in the utter
enjoyment every day delivers aboard.
The Upper Nivernais...
Remains an undiscovered region well off the beaten track on
the edge of the Morvan hills. The sleepy hamlets, white
grazing Charolais cattle and woods and forests are
typical of the scenery we cruise through. During the
summer months we visit the Valley of Sardy, a canal
section with smaller locks, where time seems to have
stood still for over two hundred years. The hand
swung-bridges are a delight and we pass old
logging sites which are now an almost forgotten
memory for the local people. This is the
original home of hotel barging, although even
today a barge is a rarity welcomed by all and
every journey is a great event.
