I'm looking for some canal barge companies/options around Burgundy. A canal barge excursion was detailed in one of Rick's PBS video programs but I've not found any reference to it in his guidebook. Considering it in late May early June.

In Sept 2022 Rick hosted a Monday Night Travel episode detailing a personal vacation he took on a canal barge cruise. He goes into more detail about the accommodations and the experience and it may be worth a watch: https://www.ricksteves.com/travel-tips/travel-classes/monday-night-travel/cruising-burgundy
The barge they took was called Le Papillon and is run by the French Canal Boat Company.
