The Canal de Bourgogne or Burgundy Canal provides north to south access
through France and connects the Atlantic Ocean with the Mediterranean Sea
through the Rivers Seine and Yonne to the north, and the rivers Rhone and
Saone to the south.  
The area traversed by the
canal is some of the most
scenic in France and
includes rolling farm country,
fields of white cattle, small
villages, and imposing hilltop
castles and chateaus.
Burgundy Canal Rental boats
carry bicycles for the use of
passengers and they have
van support for those that
prefer not to walk to the
villages and the hilltop towns.
