A warm welcome aboard from the captain and crew with a Kir-Royal
cocktail - the start to a unique and memorable stay in Burgundy.
Early evening we visit Dijon with the Captain and then return to
the boat in time for our first candlelit dinner aboard.

During breakfast, we leave Dijon and head for the first of a total
of 45 locks. We make our way along Lake Kir, with its leisure facilities,
via Plombieres to Velars sur Ouche. Guests are welcome to leave
the boat at any of the picturesque locks and to continue on foot
or bicycle along the towpath to the next lock. After lunch, we
continue on our leisurely way before reaching Fleurey sur Ouche,
where we will moor for the night. Dinner aboard
Sunday,

Today brings us into the heart of Burgundy, into the glorious Ouche
Valley. Comfortably seated on the sundeck, we will travel back
through time to an unhurried world, past the enchanting village
of Pont de Pany and Château la Chassagne and past Ste. Marie
sur Ouche. We finally moor in Gissey and set out to explore the
surrounding countryside in the company of the Captain. Dinner aboard. .

local Burgundian vineyard. Dinner aboard.

La Bussiere where we visit the Cistercian Abbey. After lunch we

Pont d'Ouche. Late afternoon we visit the medieval hillside village
of Châteauneuf en Auxois. Dinner aboard.
Wednesday,

Very hard work for the Captain today mastering the numerous locks
between Pont d'Ouche and Vandenesse. For passengers it is the last

Gala Dinner at which you will be presented with your lock diplomas.
