Bike and Barge French Wine Regions
Canal Boat Barge cruises
are available  with a chef
on board
Barge Cruise options on the
Burgundy Canal include a

The cruise will cover some historic
territory.
The Canal de Bourgogne or Burgundy
Canal provides north to south access
through France and connects the
Atlantic Ocean with the Mediterranean
Sea through the Rivers Seine and
Yonne to the north, and the rivers Rhone
and Saone to the south.  


The area traversed by the 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 barge will carry bikes on board for
the passengers to bike the farm roads
and visit the wine region villages.  


A van will follow and provide
transportation to the villages and allow
the passengers and crew to shop for  
the local wines in the villages.
Much of the 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.
Building of the canal started with a plan in
1727 but the canal was not finished
completely until 1832, when barges made
the first crossing.
The Village of Pouilly en Auxios, north of
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.
The burgundy Canal is a wonderful place
to enjoy a canal boat holiday adventure

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.
