The Jubilant: A great way to see Burgundy at an unbelievable price!

The Jubilant is a beautiful barge which has been lovingly restored by it's current owners into a homely but high standard barge.


I visited the boat during the winter: Even in the depths of a Burgundy winter she was invitingly cozy.
The spacious saloon and dining area are ideal for relaxing, while the top decks allow a great view as you cruise along.

And at the end of the day, a comfortable cabin with private ensuite awaits you.




With David as your captain, sit back and enjoy a cruise that can include the Canal du Rhone au Rhin, beginning in Medieval Dole, the river Saone, and the Canal du Centre, home to the vineyards!
Privates charters are available for 4-6 at just £990 per person for a week. This is really too good to be missed.

Why not join the Jubilant for a week at the beginning of September, when the weather should be glorious and the vineyards will be dripping with grapes almost ready for the annual harvest.

The delights of Southern Burgundy

Southern Burgundy is a great area to cruise, with the majestic river Saone at it's heart.
For those wishing to cruise in Burgundy but without the hardwork of 50 or so locks, this is a great destination as there are far fewer locks than on either the Burgundy or Nivernais canal.
On the river Saone you will find such towns as Lyon, Macon, Tournus, Chalon sur Saone and St Jean de Losne to visit, each of which has a selection of restaurants, museums, shops and 'caves' in which you can taste locally produced wines.

Real connoisseurs might like to cruise on the Canal du Centre where vineyards cling to the hills: Chagny, Rully, Santenay, the Cotes de Beaune are all accesible from the canal by either bike or taxi.
Alternatively, nature lovers will enjoy the river Seille, which leads to the Medieval town of Louhans where the traditional Monday market is a must-see. The narrow river Seille is a haven for wildlife and a fisherman's paradise.

Three of our fleets at Hotelsafloat.com operate in Southern Burgundy:
Locaboat offer a range of traditional penichettes from St Leger sur Dheune on the Canal du centre, from where you can explore the canal or the Canal and the river Saone, as you wish.

Pavillon Saone, based at Tournus on the river Saone, offer a range of modern style, air-conditioned cruises for that home-from-home experience.

Saone Bateaux are based slightly further south at Gigny sur Saone, in the heart of the countryside. A range of boats are available for from 2 -8 people.

Southern Burgundy deserves your consideration if you are looking for a cruise this year, and we have some great promotions here!
