1/2 day (or less) Burgundy canal / river tour cruise?

Posted by on

Hi All!
We are staying in Beaune for 4 days Sep 19-23 (two weeks from now) and would love to do a multi-hour or 1/2-day boat cruise on a canal or river within an hour or so drive from Beaune.

Does anyone know of such a thing?
I've looked and haven't found any definitive options (everything is oriented towards week-long cruises).

(We'd be happy to rent a small motorboat ourselves for a 1/2-day but I haven't found any option like that either.)

Thanks for any tips

I have done a number of cruises in Burgundy cruises with Leboat, and Locaboat. I have never hear of any cruise shorter than 4 days.

I've not heard of anything less than an occasional overnight barge cruise.

Boats travel sloooow on the canals.

Consider walking or biking along the towpaths of a canal between villages.

Thank you for your answers! I guess we'll focus on a bike ride along the canal, which I know will be beautiful :-)
