'LITOTE' - CENTRAL BURGUNDY ITINERARY:
SATURDAY
Meet at Hotel Régina in Paris at 1:00 pm and transfer to
Gare de Lyon rail station to board the TGV high-speed train
to Dijon. Continue by motor coach to Vandenesse-en-Auxois
and 'Litote.' After an apéritif welcome, cruise to the
village of La Répe to moor for dinner and your first night
on the water.
SUNDAY
This morning, visit the Château de Commarin and the
medieval village of Châteauneuf-en- Auxois. An afternoon
cruise to Pont d'Ouche offers opportunities for walking and
biking along the towpaths that parallel the route.
MONDAY
A morning cruise through the Vallée d'Ouche brings you
to the pretty village of La Bussière sur Ouche. Later, drive
through scenic countryside to Meursault in the Côte de
Beaune for a private tasting of the area's prestigious white
wine.
TUESDAY
Spend the morning exploring Dijon, once the stronghold
of the Dukes of Burgundy and still the regional capital. A
guided tour of the historic city center includes a stop at
the Ducal Palace and time to wander the open market. Lunch
is served on board followed by a cruise to the village of
Gissey.
WEDNESDAY
Cruising through pastoral countryside, 'Litote' arrives
at Fleurey. After lunch, visit Beaune, Burgundy's wine
capital. Your guided visit includes the famous 15th-century
charity hospital, Hôtel Dieu, probably the fi nest example
of late medieval architecture in existence. Return to your
barge for drinks and dinner on board.
THURSDAY
After a morning cruise to the port of Dijon, take an
excursion to Clos de Vougeot, a wine making center since the
12th century. Antique wine presses are on display here and a

making. This evening, enjoy a special farewell dinner aboard
your barge.
FRIDAY

the return trip to Paris, where your tour ends on arrival at
