The charming villages of Burgundy - A cruise through French wines and regional flavours (port-to-port cruise)

Possible transfer(1) by coach from Dijon to Saint-Léger-sur-Dheune. Passengers are welcome to board our ship at 6:00 p.m. After comfortably settling into your cabins, we'll introduce our crew at a welcome cocktail.

We'll leave by coach for our excursion towards Nolay, where we will find our trailhead to hike to the Cirque du Bout du Monde, a Natura 2000 natural site. We'll see the imposing chalk cliffs carved out by the Cozanne River which created a blind valley, where a waterfall over 80 feet high adds a touch of wonder. 

In the afternoon, just a few kilometers from Santenay, you will set off to discover an exceptional château, where history and terroir blend harmoniously. Nestled between vineyards and rolling hills, this site of great historical richness invites you to immerse yourself in the art of Burgundian winemaking.
The château's owner will warmly welcome you and personally guide you through the estate, revealing the secrets of vine cultivation, winemaking techniques, and time-honored family traditions.
After the visit, you will enjoy a wine tasting, carefully curated for its quality and character—a moment of sharing and sensory discovery.

The end of the afternoon will be spent cruising towards Chagny.

This morning will be spent cruising towards Chalon-sur-Saone. Feel free to bike along the banks of the Doubs River by taking the Green Way bike path (1). In the afternoon, join us on a walking tour of Chalon-sur-Saône, birthplace of Joseph Nicéphore Niepce, who, in 1824, was one of the inventors of photography. Enjoy a tasting* of local wines before returning on board.

This morning will be spent cruising towards Saint-Jean-de-Losne. In the afternoon, join us on a guided tour of Saint-Jean-de- Losne and the Batellerie Museum (closed on Mondays), which will end with a tasting of local specialties from Burgundy. Afterwards, we'll return on board.

The whole day will be spent cruising towards Petit-Ouges. Bicycles are available on board at any time if you'd like to take a bike ride along the canal's banks (1). We'll arrive in Petit-Ouges late in the afternoon.

This morning will be spent cruising towards Dijon. In the afternoon, join us on an excursion along the Burgundy Grands Crus Wine Route. The touristic Grands Crus wine route passes through villages and the finest and most prestigious of the Burgundy vineyards. We'll stop along the way for a wine tasting* session. Tonight is our gala evening and dinner.
