The Burgundy and the Saone Valley regions offer an extensive cruising ground on both canals and rivers, with equally diverse landscapes: lush pastures, vast plains, vineyard-covered hills and forests. Le Boat has one of the most important bases on the River Saoine at Saint-Jean-de-Losne, just beside the entrance to the Burgundy Canal.
In Beaune, the wine capital of France, wine lovers will be spoilt for choice when choosing a wine to accompany a gourmet meal: Gevrey-Chambertin, Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-George and Pommard to name but a few.
