AU FIL DE L’EAU SUGGESTS THREE FORMULAS OF CRUISING:

The “B & B” f ormula
You rent the barge and his crew for a duration of 6 nights / 7 days.
You just have to relax, prepare lunch and dinner, and organize your outings. Each morning you have a copious breakfast.


The “OUTINGS” f ormula
Each morning, Sophie serves you a Continental breakfast .
Two outings are programmed during cruising.
On the first excursion, you discover the Museum of Shipping and to savour a delicious dinner in an excellent restaurant.
And on the second one, you visit a vineyard where you are welcome by the estate owner-winegrower who explains the various vinification processes of a wine from Burgundy. During the visit you taste various types of vines and then you may buy some bottles of vintage wines. In the evening you savour a delicious dinner in an excellent restaurant ( with the stamp of quality “Logis de France” ) and later you take a taxi to go back to the barge.


The “GOURMET” formula
A more complete option than the “OUTINGS” program, AU FIL DE L’EAU suggests 4 gastronomic jaunts in restaurants where you taste specialities of the soil with wines from Burgundy.
