Fleur De Lys

Burgundy & Franche-Comté

The Fleur de Lys is the most impeccably appointed barge in the world, with a gracious elegance and amenities that epitomize the concept of ultimate luxury. The Fleur de Lys (and her sister-ship, the Amaryllis) are the only two canal barges that can boast heated swimming pools.

Built in 1941 and converted in 1986.  The Fleur de Lys is a charter barge that may also be booked to travel in tandem with other barges. She cruises the Cote d’Or, Burgundy , Franche Comté and Saône.

The Fleur de Lys cruises the classic Burgundy route bordering France ’s famous Côte d’Or – composed of the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune – where the legendary wines that are permitted to bear the Grands Crus and Premiers Crus labels can be discovered.  You’ll recognize names like Meursault, Montrachet, Gevrey-Chambertin, Clos de Vougeot, Pomard and Santenay and sample wines that are rarely available outside the borders of France . 

Fleur de Lys cruises some of the most picturesque waterways in France , including the river Saône and the Canal due Centre (built 1783-1791 to link the Loire and Saône rivers).  The towns and villages visited enroute include Beaune, Dijon , St Jean de Losne, Chalon-sur-Saône and Dole.
