Chablis Cruise
Paris to Auxerre

SUNDAY After you are met by our driver you will be driven to La Nouvelle moored in the heart of Paris for a wonderful champagne welcome. The afternoon will take up with your relaxing while we cruise past Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower. We will moor for the night in the Latin Quarter where you will have your first of many gourmet meals on board.

MONDAY Scenic cruise out of Paris to Samois sur Seine. After lunch we will drive to Chateau of Fontainbleau. Here we will walk through Fontainbleau, which is to walk through the history of France. Every royal family has added its own architectural signature. We then go on to the charming village of Moret, where the impressionist Sisley painted and then re-join La Nouvelle for the evening.

TUESDAY A morning cruise on the upper part of the Seine to Montereau, where the smaller river Yonne meets us. After lunch we will take a drive out to the medieval town of Provins, also called the “City of Roses”. Here we will watch the magnificent show of the birds of prey and then return to the barge moored in a beautiful country setting along the banks of the Yonne.

WEDNESDAY A pleasant cruise along the Yonne River to the town of Sens, the oldest town in France. We will visit on of the first great Gothic cathedrals, a magnificent building that dominates the square. Time to shop and visit the museum or just stroll around the town.

THURSDAY Winding up on the Yonne we reach the pretty riverside town of Joigny. The beautiful narrow cobbled streets winding their way up to wonderful churches perched on top of the hillside, that take you back to another era. In the afternoon we will take a drive out to Chablis where we will select one of the small family operated wineries for an intimate tour of the vineyards and cellars.

FRIDAY Cruise along the upper reaches of the Yonne River to Auxerre, the most beautiful of all the river towns in France whose skyline is punctuated by church spires and its streets lined with timbered 16th century homes. Time for shopping, visiting the old port or the 15th century clock tower. Here we will have our last gourmet dinner on board that will also be a farewell party.

SATURDAY After your last elegant breakfast you will be driven to either your hotel or the airport.

Itineraries may be in reverse direction.
