Northern Burgundy
Barge cruising in Burgundy! All the delights of floating, wine-tasting, bicycling and sightseeing in a cruising area strategically located but a few hours south of Paris! Home to two major canals, the Nivernais and the Burgundy, as well as the River Yonne, this cruising area is defined by the Chablis vineyards and especially lovely villages and chateaux.
Let's focus on the Burgundy barge cruise between Auxerre and Clamecy on the Canal du Nivernais: Old walnut trees and weeping willows line the canal banks ...open fields of maize give way to high rocky outcrops...swans and herons to observe....colorful villages with distinctive architecture sweep into view! Barge guests will tour the Grand Cru vineyards high in the hills above the famed wine town of Chablis. Other memorable excursions include the Basilica at Vezelay; Chateau de Bazoches, home to 17th century inventor Marechal Vauban; and maybe a visit to a pre-historic cave!
The nearby and tree-lined Burgundy Canal offers top excursions - such as to the stunningly-restored Renaissance chateau at Tanlay and the Abbeye of Fontenay.
There are many wonderful barge cruises in Northern Burgundy - from deluxe to informal. We love this region and have visited it many times. Welcome aboard for your barge cruise in Burgundy!
