The luxury barge La Reine Pedauque offers an exceptional cruise along the Burgundy canal and can accommodate up to eight guests in four large suites. The elegant staterooms have double or twin beds, private bathrooms, wardrobe space, desk and chair and opening portholes.

La Reine Pedauque cruises for 6 nights from Friday to Thursday between April and October. Every 6-night cruise includes all meals, open bar, regional wines, daily escorted excursions to nearby historical monuments and other local attractions, local return transfer between the vessel and Chateau la Chassagne Hotel near Dijon. Inquire about 3-night cruises (Friday-Monday or Monday-Thursday).

La Reine Pedauque navigates on the 300 year old Canal de Bourgogne, gracefully making her way through locks and the valleys of the "Gold Coast" in Burgundy.

The barge always cruises at a good walking pace and it is possible to get on and off the boat at every lock, to go cycling or walking. The tow-path alongside the canal is closed to all forms of motorized transport so it is very safe and great fun to follow the barge along the path.

There is also plenty of time to cycle off to other villages and places to visit, ask the cook for a picnic basket if you wish.

The name La Reine Pedauque comes from a very old French legend, when translated into English it means "The goose footed queen". The story says that the Queen had webbed feet, she would keep a goose beside her, and so the loyal subjects would mistake her feet for those of the goose.
