French Hotel Barge L'Impressionniste - Burgundy Bourgogne 2009 France

Due to the increasing demands for high quality wine visits and tasting, L'Impressionniste is returning to the beautiful Southern Burgundy region, cruising on the Burgundy (Bourgogne) Canal between Dijon and Escommes. The itinerary will of course include the "must see" tours of Dijon, Beaune, Nuit-St-Georges and Chateauneuf-en-Auxois.

We lived on the French canals for several years... on a private barge Black Moon outside of Paris on the Seine at Le Port Marly; around Paris on the Seine & Marne rivers aboard both sailboats we built in France, Loose Moose & Loose Moose 2; plus with Loose Moose 2 we cruised south and were neighbors of Liz & Rene's one winter in Frontignan back when they had a motorboat.

We love the French canals and we hope you will be able to take advantage of Emma's special offer and experience this unique vacation. It is a superb way to see another aspect of France.

French hotel barge BONNE HUMEUR renamed RENAISSANCE

CHANGE AND NO CHANGE ...

Bonne Humeur has been renamed Renaissance but this excellent French hotel barge will continue to provide upscale cruises along the Western Burgundy and Upper Loire canals and rivers as she has done for the past couple of years.



During the winter of 2007/8 Renaissance will receive a cosmetic makeover to her livery and décor but no fundamental changes to her layout. Her spacious two-deck interior will continue to accommodate a maximum of eight guests in elegance and commodious comfort. Her crew will include her returning chef and barge industry professionals who understand the responsibilities attached to a top of the line hotel barge.
