Walking and Barging in Burgundy

Canal barging and walking have natural affinities. Both travel through beautiful, seldom-visited rural regions, using unobtrusive low-tech transport, on leisurely inteneraries with plenty of time for serendipitous rambles.

Many walkers like the idea of a "home base" barge-you unpack only once and the barge moves you effortlessly from walking route to route, with the added pleasure of lovely waterside scenery. And because the barge offers an attractive option for those who prefer not to walk everyday, this is an excellent program for novice walkers or couples with varying activity levels. Cruise the Calan du Bourgogne from Vandenesse-en-Auxois to Dijon.

This tour passes through a varied landscape of broad valleys, rivers and rushing streams, fairy-tale chÅteaux and dozens of small, picturesque villages for you to explore at ground level with your guide
