A great episode and definitely a new take on the usual RS modalities. No backpacking here!
After having watched it I'm afraid to ask (but also too curious not to ask) what an excursion like this would cost? I didn't seen anything about the line to look it up myself.
That was just too easy. The crew wore the boat's logo - le Papillon. A quick Google found this: https://frenchcanalboatcompany.com/prices-and-inclusions/#papillon
Le Papillon will set you back at least $24,000 to 34, 000 depending on the number of guests.
I loved this episode! I know there have been recent threads and posts voicing disappointment about the latest Iceland and Italy episodes, but no repeat clips in the Burgundy barge one. It’s a joy to watch, and, yeah, I want to go!
Many years ago we took a 6 night barge cruise in Burgundy. Rather than chartering an entire boat, we booked 2 cabins on a barge that carried about 18 passengers. The trip was all inclusive - daily excursions, all meals and wine and transportation to and from Paris.
