Review: European Waterways Burgundy Canal Cruise, France: Days 1 to 3 on La Belle Epoque


With a services comfort break, it takes us around three hours to get our first sight of the elegant lines of La Belle Epoque moored at the tiny town of Lezinnes: around the sundeck the boxes of pansies, forget-me-nots, strawberries, parsley and rosemary are flourishing. I join Craig on the early morning “bread run” to return with armfuls of bread and patisserie from a local bakery for the freshest of breakfasts; alongside fruit salad, the cooked-to-order egg of the day, and coffee. Based on two passengers sharing a cabin, 6-night/7-day cruises aboard the 12-passenger La Belle Epoque start at $6,850 per person and include all gourmet meals, fine wines, an open bar for the duration of the cruise, daily escorted excursions, admissions, and private transfers at either end of the cruise.
