Chateauneuf France - A Visit to Châteauneuf-en-Auxois in Bourgogne France | European Waterways
A Visit to Châteauneuf-en-Auxois in Bourgogne France. Visit to the Medieval Village, Craft Shops and Castle of Châteauneuf-en- Auxois.
During our classic Burgundy cruise aboard hotel barge L'Impressionniste we visit the medieval village, craft shops and castle of Châteauneuf-en-Auxois, once an outpost of the Dukes of Burgundy and offering a fine overview of the feeder lakes, canal and surrounding countryside.
Châteauneuf-en-Auxois is a tiny, charming, hilltop town, well worth the climb up the steep path. This romantic and fascinating village is like a miniature Carcassonne, with its turreted castle, its encircling walls, and its elegant houses once belonging to rich merchants. The château, built in the 12th and 15th centuries, affords a broad view over the rolling farmlands, with a view of the Canal de Bourgogne and the woodlands of the Morvan. At its zenith, the town had a population of 500.
The 12 Passenger Hotel Barge L'Impressionniste -- the Lower Burgundy Canal
Sister ship to La Belle Epoque, L'Impressionniste began life as a cargo barge in Holland before undergoing a complete transformation into the gorgeous hotel barge she is today. Her light and airy interior features picture windows and a selection of prints, fabrics and wall coverings reminiscent of the era after which she has been named, while each comfortable cabin is complemented by an en suite shower. The spacious saloon has also been upgraded with the addition of some comfortable leather sofas and individually designed fitted furniture. A week cruising aboard L'Impressionniste on the Burgundy Canal introduces you to a wonderful blend of Burgundian countryside, history and viticulture. For more information please see:

BARGING THROUGH FRANCE PT 5 - BURGUNDY
In Part 5 of this video series about traveling the waterways of France on a tug boat, Richard Goodwin first visits the giant flea market near Auxerre at a place called Ayonne . Here there is every kind junk and priceless antiques but you have to turn up on the day. Then we go to Auxerre which is the only town that has been beatified and made a saint. Auxerre became rich because all the wood that Paris needed was rafted down the river through Auxerre and a great of the wine it consumed as well. Then we visit a demolition man who had fallen in love with an ochre factory and decided to preserve it. Ochre was used throughout the middle ages for painting frescoes and houses. We watch a game of table football and then go to a gangette where there was an afternoon dance. The great American author, Henry Miller said that 'Auxerre was more French than Paris.'
We then pass a gondola rowed by intrepid gondoliers from Venice. They had started in Marseilles. Shortly afterwards we call on the Snail Queen who lives and breeds snails. This a very interesting interview with a beautiful woman. Then we go to a farmhouse kitchen and learn how to make the most delicious gratin potatoes. Then to a great patissier, Bruno Coeur at Semur en Auxois. He makes the most delicious chocolates and amazing cakes, the secrets of which he shares with no one, not even his wife.
A great recipe, boeuf bourginon demonstrated by an elderly Burgundian lady who had clearly done it before. It is a great recipe because it never fails to be quite the best recipe for this dish I have ever discovered. Then I discover the wild mushroom chef who not only cooks them like a dream he also tramps round the woods and picks them from his secret places in the Morvan.
Then we see how to cook the snails that we had bought from Natalie the snail queen. The cook is my friend Michelle who lives and works on a barge with her husband. These batelliers know how to cook.
Finally we visit one of the great bakers of this world. He had been away for the first holiday in his life. We arrived on the day of his return which meant the entire village had turned up with their tongues hanging, dying to taste his wonderful bread again. And his bread was all that it was cracked up to be.
Beaune France....Magical Market Day!
Beaune is a historic town in the heart of the famous Burgundy Wine and Gastronomy Region. Cobblestone streets from the pre-Roman and Roman era add charm to a already charming French village.
The famous Beaune market is one of Europe's best experiences of sight, sounds, flavors and tastes. It is a magical experience that is not to be missed on any trip to Burgundy. Held every Wednesday and Saturday, market day is what travel is all about: a feast for the eyes, smell and sounds.
Day Two of our Trip to Burgundy (Historic Cellar Visit)
Our second day in France started with an extensive breakfast and a change in our itinerary. The highly anticipated truffle hunting experience in the forests of Burgundy got replaced by a professional wine tasting in a wine cellar built in the 13th century, one of Beaune's oldest.
At around midday we made our way to a beautiful restaurant, which is famed for its Coq au Vin and we enjoyed a traditional French three-course lunch. After the second feast of the day, an exploration of Cote de Beaune's vineyards was on the agenda and lots of pictures were being taken. We would have loved to take even more but we had to stick to our schedule.
In the late afternoon, we visited the historic Hospices de Beaune and enjoyed a tour by a lovely guide.
