Enjoy a relaxing trip through the Burgundy region of France as you cruise along the stunning Saône River and its local canals on a self-drive boating holiday from Le Boat. Immerse yourself in the rolling countryside as you navigate a landscape dotted with beautiful vineyards and peaceful villages. No previous boating experience is required - the welcoming on-site team will ensure you know everything you need before you set out.
The region is of course famed for its wine, so you're sure to want to find out more and try some out along the way, which might include tours of the Côte de Beaune vineyards and a stop at the Maison des Vins in Chalon-sur-Saône. The local cuisine is also unbeatable, with plenty of delicacies worth sampling. Nature lovers should look out for the rich range of wildlife in the area, with its bird life including bee-eaters, little ringed plovers, kingfishers, golden orioles, and common cuckoos. Keen anglers will also love seeing carp, pike, zander, perch, bream, and maybe even giant catfish on the end of their line.
You're sure to enjoy navigating the scenic canals and rivers of the region, with plenty of different routes to explore. You can start your journey from any of the Le Boat bases along the waterways, which are situated in Fontenoy-le-Château, Saint-Jean-de-Losne, and Branges (the address and location marked on the map below shows Le Boat's base in Saint-Jean-de-Losne).
