Discover L’Impressionniste

Cruise along Burgundy Canal

Similar to our other 12-passenger hotel barge in Burgundy, La Belle Epoque, L’Impressionniste offers a delightful onboard atmosphere that blends traditional and contemporary French influences.

L’Impressionniste glides gently through the picturesque Ouche Valley in Southern Burgundy through locks with their charming lock houses. You will see medieval villages perched on hilltops and have the opportunity to discover a region famed for its history and viticulture, with visits to such places as Beaune, the regions ‘wine capital’, and the elegant city of Dijon.

The excursions, except for one, were very nice. One suggestion. On the Thursday we went to the Chateau du Clos de Vougeot in the afternoon and before then we went to a rather ordinary winery. I would suggest skipping the morning winery and instead participating in the 11:30 am guided tour in English followed by lunch and winetasting at Chateau du Clos de Vougeot. The food on L'Imppressionniste was spectacular--particular kudos to chef Arneis.
