Burgundy

CENTRAL & EASTERN FRANCE
Captain Your Own
French Canal Boat in Burgundy
~ Grandeur and good living

For centuries the house of Burgundy ruled the kingdom of France - was it this royal history that made the region the home of the greatest wines and cuisine in the world? The Saone River meanders through heady red wine country - rolling hills covered in vines and pastures, often topped by a terreted castle or abbey, rather grand old houses with mosiac roofs of many coloured tiles - this is a timeless landscape untouched by passing centuries.

Places of Special Interest: Dijon - ducal palace, renaissance manors and museums - Beaunne - the wine capital of Burgundy, the Hospice Chateauneuf-en-Auxios - 13th century fortified castle and village - Village Vineyards and wine villages - Nuits-St-Georges, Macon, Beaujolais

Regional Cuisine: The greatest wines in the world. Boeuf Bourgignon, coq an Vin, Pastries and patisserie. Dijon's mustard and creme de cassis

The foothills of the Vosges
A pretty canal winds its way between steep pine clad hills. From tiny village to busy spa town deep valleys and fertile river plains. As you cruise along your only company is provided by noisy birds and timid wild deer. Forget your watch. Time stands still in the deep forests on the Vosges.

A land fit for Kings
Burgundy is a land of light... ever changing light which gives colour and harmony to the beautiful countryside. Light which softens the rolling hills or etches from time to time the sharp tower of an abbey. For centuries kings have elected this as their own...
