The Burgundy Canal is much the way it was when constructed in the 17th and 18 th Century. The canal boats running
today are quite different the original cargo vessels; they offer catered meals, chef on board, and on some barges,
culinary themes that delve into wine and chocolate or the local wines paired with French cooking in a week-long
exploration of French culture that can give the traveler quite a unique experience

canal now but much history and tradition lingers and one great way to experience it is on a barge tour with a French
chef cooking the meals.
