Only two hours from Paris, the canals of Northern Burgundy are not only beautiful but accessible too! Burgundy is the land of world class wines, historic chateaux, rolling hills and the prettiest medieval villages you can imagine. Surrounding the entire region is a ribbon of canals and rivers winding through unspoiled pastures and vineyards, quiet hamlets and bustling market towns. With unrivaled natural beauty, gourmet food and famous wines, the northern Burgundy region is one of the most popular and accessible areas for the ultimate barge cruise.

Bisecting the Burgundy countryside, the Nivernais Canal is one of our favorites for beauty, lovely stone villages, green pastures and untouched rural life. Highlights of a barge cruise on the Nivernais Canal are the convenient and interesting excursions such as nearby Auxerre, Vezelay, Chablis, Avalon, and the many opportunities for wine tasting. What a treat!
