includes rolling farm country, fields
of white cattle, small villages, and
imposing hilltop castles and
chateaus.
Burgundy Canal Rental boats carry
bicycles for the use of passengers
and they have van support for
those that prefer not to walk to the

Much of the Burgundy Canal remains just the way it was when constructed in the
17th and 18 th Century.
Wide flat walkways on either side of the canal make great hiking and biking.
Canal barges make week-long trips out of locations like Dijon and become the
nightly hotel as they tie up during the night.

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.
