Tell your clients about France's yummiest barge cruise !
ELISABETH, a French canal barge which charters for private parties of six guests, will offer a special “Chocolate and Wine” cruise in spring, 2008. Six-night cruises on the Burgundy Canal between Pouillenay and Tanlay begin Saturday, April 5 and run through Friday, May 30. The canal is a two hour drive south of Paris.

Owner-operator Peter and Sheena Jenner (British ex-pats who have lived in Burgundy for twenty years) will offer chocolate and wine tastings, on-board cooking demonstrations, chocolate desserts galore – and even lunch in the enchanting village of Flavigny where the film “Chocolat” was filmed.

Regularly – scheduled excursions to romantic chateaux, a medieval Abbeye, and a Roman battlefield round out the program. The Burgundy Canal winds through villages, forests and fields. Walking and bicycling are available every day.

The newly- renovated, 100-foot long ELISABETH carries up to six guests in comfort and style. Each of the three cabins has a private bath. Guests can choose to relax on deck, in the covered wheelhouse or in the downstairs salon. All meals are cooked on board by a dedicated chef.

The whole-boat charter price of $21,000 for a party of six; $18,700 for a party of five and $16,400 for a party of four includes chauffeured transfer to/from Paris; all meals; wine with meals; open bar; all excursions; all special “Chocolate and Wine” programs, and use of ship’s facilities such as bicycles.
