It’s hard to find a region that more embodies the “Quintessential French Experience” than Burgundy. This region is legendary for its beautiful abbeys, Romanesque architecture, as well as incredible vineyards and wineries. Experience the roots of power and history that run deep in the region. https://frenchcanalboatcompany.com/contact-us-book-now/

Our crew found this poor deer trapped in the canal and struggling to get out. Unfortunately it was too late to save its sibling but our chef, Camille, kept it warm until the lock keeper was able to take it to a safe place for rescue❤️

We could watch this on repeat all day long 😍. What is the next destination that you hope to travel to this year?

After 18 months in Holland, Papillon was captured travelling full-steam back to Burgundy last week. While holidays on board are typically slow and leisurely, our barges can really get moving when motivated! Happy to be back home and looking forward to welcoming guests aboard this summer.
