Hirondelle
Côte
d’Or, Burgundy & Franche-Comté
Built in 1928 and
converted to a luxury cruising barge in 1993, the Hirondelle cruises some of the
most tranquil and beautiful waterways in all of
Europe
: the Canal de Bourgogne, the Canal du Centre, the Canal du
Rhône au Rhin and the River Saône.
The large windows, well above the water line, and the sun-deck on the top deck
of the boat make it easy for you to enjoy the passing scenery of Burgundy and
Franche-Comté: renowned for their vineyards, Gothic churches and abbeys,
Renaissance châteaux and picturesque villages.
The
Hirondelle is available for hire on a charter or per passenger basis. Sister
ship to the Alouette, both the Hirondelle and Alouette can be hired to “barge
in tandem”, providing additional accommodation for larger groups.
