Luxury barge La Belle Epoque is Wayfarers' home for seven days as we glide along the waterways of Burgundy and explore a beautiful part of France. We cruise the upper Burgundy Canal in the north of Burgundy, between the two classic French towns of Tanlay and Venaray les Laume.

Barging in Burgundy Walk Dates in 2013
13 October to 19 October
20 October to 26 October
Trip: 6 nights
Terrain & Walk Rating: Easy. The soft landscape, low hills and level tow-paths skirting canals make for easy walking. Three to five miles per day.
Walk begins in Paris, with transport to the barge in Tanlay and ends in Venaray les Laume, with transport back to Paris. Important note: Cruise direction may be reversed depending on barge scheduling.
For more information, please visit our website http://www.thewayfarers.com/walking-tours/european-walking-tours/france-burgundy/
Also on our website, we recommend an entertaining blog about the development of barging holidays in France. They were pioneered by the charismatic entrepreneur, the late Gerard Morgan-Grenville, whose varied life included many achievements.
Here's an excerpt, from http://thewayfarersnews.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/barging-into-burgundy.html
"Life aboard French barges used to be very different. They were used for transporting heavy goods and manned by bargees who lived aboard. The barge was their home. It was a tough but independent life and the bargees themselves were often idiosyncratic characters. The idea of using their boats for leisure purposes, let alone luxury leisure, was entirely alien. It took an equally idiosyncratic Englishman to spot the potential.
"The late Gerard Morgan-Grenville spent his life pioneering new ideas. He spent some time in California in the sixties before setting up the world-renowned Centre for Alternative Technology in Wales, UK. As well as being an ardent environmentalist, he was also a successful businessman who founded a string of businesses. In the 1970s he bought an old barge, The Virginia Anne, and spent many summers living on the French waterways.
"The story of those years is told in a series of entertaining books that he wrote and illustrated. Barging into France, Barging into Southern France and Barging into Burgundy recount Gerard's adventures, which were many and mixed. In Barging into Burgundy he survives sampling a lock keeper's homemade eau-de-vie, which was basically raw spirit and caused him to fall naked and inebriated into the canal. He learned how to mend holes in the barge the traditional way using bacon and quick drying cement (the bacon is squishy enough to squash into the holes and the cement provides a seal), and that bringing peacock feathers on board is a certain harbinger of disaster.
"Despite the disasters, Gerard's friends adored staying on the barge and he had so many requests that he started a luxury barge vacation company, which was the first of its kind. He ran this with great success before retiring to Dorset, UK, in the 1990s.
"Barging has retained its popularity and Burgundy is one of the most delightful places to enjoy this historic mode of transport. We cruise the upper Burgundy Canal in the North of Burgundy, between the two classic French towns of Tanlay and Venaray les Laume. Tranquility and comfort accompany us on our journey. Every day we leave our barge to set off on foot to explore Renaissance châteaux, dramatic cliffs, wooded hills, medieval towns, lush valleys and ancient vineyards.
