CRUISE MAP
Reine
Pedauque Wheelchair Accessible Vessel -
Dijon to Vandenesse en Auxois
Day
1: Friday Dijon
Guests are met at Château la Chassagne near Dijon
at 5pm and transferred by air-conditioned minibus to La
Reine Pedauque. 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.
Day
2: Saturday Dijon to Fleurey sur Ouche
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.
Day
3: Sunday Fleurey sur Ouche to Gissey
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.
Day
4: Monday Beaune
After breakfast, we set off on a day's excursion to beautiful
town of Beaune. Here we will visit the world-famous Hospice,
Hotel-Dieu and the Collegiate Church of Notre Dame. After
lunch at a local French restaurant in Beaune, we enjoy
a wine-tasting at a typical, local Burgundian vineyard.
Dinner aboard.
Day
5: Tuesday Gissey to Pont d'Ouche
This morning we begin our day with a cruise to Saint Victor
and La Bussiere where we visit the Cistercian Abbey.
After lunch we continue our cruise past Veuvey on our
way to today's mooring in Pont d'Ouche. Late afternoon
we visit the medieval hillside village of Châteauneuf
en Auxois. Dinner aboard.
Day
6: Wednesday Pont d'Ouche to Vandenesse en
Auxois
Very hard work for the Captain today mastering the numerous
locks between Pont d'Ouche and Vandenesse. For passengers
it is the last chance to sit back and soak up the beauty
of the surroundings. In the evening you are guests at
the Captain's table for the Farewell Gala Dinner at which
you will be presented with your lock diplomas.
Day
7: Thursday Vandenesse en Auxois to Dijon
After a generous breakfast, passengers leave the boat and
are driven back to Château la Chassagne, to the
train station or Dijon airport by about 11am.
On alternate weeks, the cruise is in reverse direction.
This is a sample itinerary and subject to change.
