The Burgundy Canal was
conceived in 1607 and work on
the canal started in 1727. The
canal was completed in 1832 when
barges made the first crossing.
The Village of Pouilly en Auxios,
north of Dijon, is the highest point
on the canal at 378 meters above
sea level. (1,240 feet)
A three-kilometer tunnel (2.07
miles) is one of the intriguing
features of this marvel of
engineering
A complex system of reservoirs
and feeder canals keeps the
Burgundy Canal running and
makes it an intriguing engineering
accomplishment and a wonderful
place to enjoy a walk, bike ride, or
culinary barge cruise through the
French countryside.

Canal Barge through the Burgundy
Canal:
The area traversed by the Burgundy Canal is
some of the most scenic in France and
includes rolling farm country, small villages built
in the 11th century, and imposing hilltop castles
and chateaus of the Medieval period
The Culinary barge cruise will include a chef
who will cook the meals while you cruise along
or visit the local villages on bikes provided by
the cruise company. At the end of the day you
tie up for the night and have your evening meal.
A van will follow and provide transportation to
the villages and allow the crew to shop for fresh
vegetables and the local wines in the villages.
The barge will have bikes stored on deck for
your tours of the canal villages and the paths
along the canal.
Much of the Burgundy Canal remains just the
way it was when constructed in the 17th
Century; the locks operate by hand for the most
part and the locking through process can
involve the passengers.

When To Go To the Burgundy Valley:
April, to October is canal cruise season and good times to go to Burgundy for Barge Tours,
Dijon visits, biking and hiking along the canal, and the culinary cruise vacation. The
weather in Burgundy is temperate March and April (50-75 F) and the barge tours will not
be booked solid so prices are lowered. Mid July and all of August can also offer lower
prices because much of France goes on a six-week vacation.
Barge trips have their high season, mid May to Mid July and early September to mid
October. The last two weeks of October can be low season and the end of the cruise season
for some providers. Weather is good in September October, great months to visit.
Showers could come in any month but will be of short duration.
