vineyards and peaceful hamlets
Cruise
the rivers and canals of France aboard a luxury 6-passenger barge-hotel
(7days - 6 nights). This river boat travels 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.
The
small river boat 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.
