'LA BONNE HUMEUR': ILE-DE-FRANCE ITINERARY:
SUNDAY
Meet at a chosen Paris hotel and travel by private motor
coach to the riverside village of Samois-sur-Seine. A champagne
reception awaits, with time to relax before a short cruise to
the village of St-Mammès and a delectable dinner in the barge's
elegant dining room.
MONDAY
On the Canal du Loing this morning, begin the ascent of the
locks leading to the summit level of the canal. Visit Château
Vaux-le- Vicomte, setting for the film The Man in the Iron Mask.
The exquisite gardens, designed by landscape architect André le
Nôtre, have been fully restored to their original beauty.
Tonight's mooring is in the town of Nemours.
TUESDAY
After a morning cruise, enjoy lunch at an idyllic setting at
Beau Moulins. Then visit Moret-sur-Loing, a favorite of
Impressionist painter Alfred Sisley, for a guided walk of the
fortified medieval city. End the day's cruising at the quiet
hamlet of Nargis.
WEDNESDAY
Today's excursion is the hilltop town of Château-Landon to
explore this classic city by horse-drawn carriage. After lunch,
cruise to the waterside village of Cepoy.
THURSDAY
'La Bonne Humeur' joins the Canal de Briare at Montargis,
with its delightful flower-bedecked bridges and network of
miniature canals. There is time to browse in the shops or simply
relax in a café. Then cruise to Montbouy, one of the Canal's
prettiest villages, to moor in the shadow of the 12th-century
church.
FRIDAY
Early risers can accompany the chef to a farmers' market to
collect fresh produce for this evening's farewell dinner. Later
in the day, cruise to Rogny-les-Sept-Écluses with its unique
staircase of seven locks. After a visit to Château de la
Bussière for a private wine tasting, return to the barge for a
farewell celebration dinner.
