Day 1 :
Meet in Paris at the Hotel Le Parc at 2:00 pm for your transfer to 'Marjorie II,' moored in the picturesque village of Moret-sur-Loing. After a champagne welcome, there is time for an evening stroll before dinner on board.

Day 2 :
Visit the magnificent Château de Vaux-le- Vicomte. This 17th-century masterpiece was built by Nicolas Fouquet, Louis XIV's minister of finance, with gardens designed by noted landscape architects Louis le Vau, Charles le Brun and André le Nôtre. Later, cruise to Sens.

Day 3 :
Spend the morning exploring Sens, dominated by Cathédrale St- Etienne, one of the first gothic churches in France, and known for its stained glass windows. Then, an afternoon cruise to the picturesque town of Joigny with its cobbled streets and flower-filled courtyards.

Day 4 :
Tour the Chablis region, home of the famous dry white wines of Petit Chablis, Chablis, Premier Cru and Grand Cru before cruising to Auxerre, capital of Lower Burgundy and one of the most beautiful towns in France. 

Day 5 :
Situated on a hillside along the River Yonne, Auxerre was once an important staging post on the Roman highway. The morning's visit includes the historic town center with its 15th century clock tower. 'Marjorie II' then cruises to Vincelles on the Canal du Nivernais. 

Day 6 :
Today's excursion is to the village of Vézelay, changed little since 1190 when Richard the Lionheart set off for the Third Crusade. The Basilica of St. Mary Magdalene is one of the finest examples of Romanesque architecture in Europe. There is time to browse in town before returning to your barge for a cruise to Vermenton and this evening's farewell dinner.
