The singel days of the Route

Sunday: Dijon
The Crew picks you up at 5 p.m. at the meeting point. During the welcome crémant served aboard, you will be introduced to the crew. Then you have enough time to move into your cabins before you enjoy your first dinner aboard.

Monday: Fleurey sur Ouche
After breakfast, the barge will leave the port and make its way west along the Burgundy Canal which will carry your barging home for the next week. The first part of the journey takes us out past the Lake Kir, a long artificial lake and park. After a stop for lunch, the barge will continue to Fleurey sur Ouche for the nights stop.

Tuesday: Gissey sur Ouche
Today the barge will cruise all day up the Burgundy Canal past very picturesque villages finally tying up in the charming village of Gissey sur Ouche for the night. You can make a excursion by bike or only enjoying yourself on deck.

Wednesday: La Bussiére
After breakfast there is an all day excursion to Beaune. Beaune is the wine capital of Burgundy and boasts the finest Burgundian/Flemish architecture in France. A must is a visit to the Hotel Dieu, a hospital founded in the 15th century and now a fascinating museum open to the public. There is also a Wine Museum and plenty of opportunities to taste wine in the wine cellars in town.

The Provence

Sun and blue sky, cypresses, olive and plane trees, intoxicating scent of lavender and rosemary, a whiff of garlic, goat's cheese, olive oil, truffle and wine.
The Romans already knew how to cultivate this unique region between the Pyrenees and the lower Rhone. The visitor encounters impressive evidence of this time with every step he takes.The poet Paul Arene from Provence called his homeland "Avant-Paradis", what means: "in front of the Garden of Eden".
  The today world-famous painters Vincent van Gogh and Paul Monet let themselves be inspired by this fascinating landscape. This can be recognized impressively in their masterpieces.
Contemporary artists, too, such as the British author Peter Mayle, were irreversibly attracted by the charm of this region.
Whoever reads his bestsellers about Provence immediately feels himself placed in this landscape with its friendly, open people who can sometimes also be a bit queer.
And you can still see them today, men with a glass of Pastis in one hand and Boule balls in the other hand. They are playing under the plane trees when the evenings are mild, and already from a distance you can hear the click and clack of the Boule balls.
