Bourgogne, the centre of France and one of the finest food and wine producing areas to be found anywhere.
Excellent Chablis to be tasted, a vast choice of cheeses to be sampled and traditional dishes, developed over years from high quality local produce to ensure that any thought of diet or moderation fades into oblivion.
Beautifully soft countryside between ancient little villages and enchanting medieval towns with Abbeys, Churches, Cathedrals and Chateau all encapturing the rich culture and history of the region
What better way of enjoying this remarkable area, and savouring all that it has to offer, than touring leisurely by boat on the network of rivers and canals that intimately link the many places of interest in Bourgogne.
