This memorable barge vacation offers an intimate look at France's countryside. For 6 nights, you'll drift past serence landscapes upon calm waterways that attest to the history of France's transportation and commerce. With only a handful of passengers, you'll gather a more enriching experience on guided tours and excursions, and feel less pressured to keep a regimented schedule.
Between Auxerre and Montereau lies the idyllic countryside of lower Burgundy and the Ile-de-France region. Here, the region's gentle waters touch many a city: the impeccable panorama of Auxerre; Joigny's winding streets and wooden houses; the 12th-century King's creation, Villeneuve-sur-Yonne; Sens and its inspiring cathedral and culturally-rich museums; and Montereau where Napoleon led one of his last charges.
