The 8 passenger Hirondelle, owned and operated by Afloat in France
(part of the Orient-Express collection), cruises some of the most
tranquil and beautiful waterways in all of Europe: the Canal de
Bourgogne, the Canal du Centre, the Canal du Rhône au Rhine and the
River Saône.
The large windows, well above the water line, and the sun-deck on the
top deck of the boat make it easy for you to enjoy the passing scenery
of Burgundy and Franche-Comté: renowned for their vineyards, Gothic
churches and abbeys, Renaissance châteaux and picturesque villages.
Burgundy is a region of France in which gastronomic delights and the art of living have reigned supreme since Roman times.
Excursions are arranged to places with story-book names,
whether it be the quaint town of Dole, the famous museum in Dijon, the
castle in Châteauneuf or to Besançon, birthplace of Victor Hugo.
