Sunday - You'll meet in Paris at Le Parc Marriott and transfer to the 'Marjorie II' moored at the picturesque village of Moret-sur-Loing made famous in the paintings
of Alfred Sisley. After a champagne welcome and introduction of the boat by the crew there's time for an early evening stroll before your first dinner on board.
Monday - Your first excursion brings you to the Château Vaux-le-Vicomte and its fabulous gardens by Le Notre (of Versailles fame). Some 20,000 workmen were employed
in the construction of this magnificent 17th -century masterpiece, designed by Le Vau and decorated by Le Brun. In the afternoon the barge cruises on the Seine to Sens.
Tuesday - Sens is dominated by the Cathedral of St. Etienne which was the first Cathedral built in the Gothic style (circa 1140). Thomas à Becket spent time here in
exile from England and the Cathedral is justly famous for its stained glass windows. It's also a nice town for shopping. An afternoon cruise brings you to the picturesque
town of Joigny built on the slope of the Cote St. Jacques on the verge of the Orthe forest.
Wednesday - This morning is your wine tasting at Chablis, home of the famous dry white wines of Petite Chablis, Chablis, Premier Cru and Grand Cru. You'll visit several
excellent wine houses. A short cruise brings the barge to Auxerre.
Thursday - This morning you visit Auxerre, historical capital of Lower Burgundy and one of the loveliest towns in France. Renaissance houses surround the Galliard
clock tower, a city landmark since 1483 and the abbey church and cloisters of St. Germaine are just a short walk away. In the afternoon you cruise to Vincelles
on the Canal du Nivernais.
Friday - Today you'll do a long excursion to visit the village of Vézelay with her Roman Basilica of St. Mary Magdalene, one of the finest examples of Romanesque
architecture in Europe, situated in the heart of the Morvan national park. This village has barely changed since Richard the Lion Heart set off for the third crusade
in the 12th Century. Your last cruise brings you to Vermenton. Tonight is celebrated with a special farewell dinner.
Saturday - After breakfast, you disembark and are transferred back to your hotel in Paris where your tour ends.
