    Booking Codes G110 & G111 Just Cruising the Glorious Yonne Friday 8th July Wednesday 24th August 5 days staying full board £875 Single room supplement only £125 The Natalia moored on the Yonne in Sens A just-cruise short break as we travel to the northern tip of Burgundy to spend 3 full days cruising the scenic rivers between Moret-Sur-Long and Joigny, staying at the midpoint of our cruise in the fine city of Sens. Cruising may be in either direction. Here we describe the daily cruises as they will be in the southbound direction starting in Moret-sur-Loing, but the same content applies in reverse for cruising northwards from Joigny. Moret-sur-Loing to Cannes-Écluse Over our three days of cruising we will follow three different rivers, starting in Moret-sur-Loing with a short journey along the River Loing to its confluence with the Seine at St-Mammès. The Loing navigation holds an important place in waterways history. The River had been utilised since medieval times to float wood towards the Paris basin, but in 1604 it was decided to construct the world’s first summit canal to link the catchments of the Seine and the Loire, and it was in 1642 that the Canal du Loing, connecting onwards to the Canal de Briare at Montargis, was finally opened to barge traffic. Booking Codes G110 & G111 For today’s cruise we soon reach the Seine at St-Mammès, and guests will note the many Freycinet-scale grain and aggregate barges moored along this stretch and underlining the re-emerging role of the Seine as a commercial waterway.

  • H-France Review Vol. 19 (June 2019), No. 91 Christophe Voilliot
    H-France Review Volume 19 (2019) Page 1 H-France Review Vol. 19 (June 2019), No. 91 Christophe Voilliot, Le Département de l'Yonne en 1848. Analyse d'une séquence électorale. Vulaines- sur-Seine, Seine-et-Marne: Éditions du Croquant, 2017. 238 pp. Maps, tables, figures, notes, and bibliography. ISBN 9-782365-121170; €20 (pb). Review by Peter McPhee, University of Melbourne. Jacques Rougerie long ago posed the question as to whether the history of France could be studied adequately through a departmental lens. His critique of departmental boundaries as often incoherent has not dissuaded local historians often motivated--as he quipped--by a love of their own department of “Cher-et-Tendre.”[1] Apart from departments with an obvious ethno- linguistic coherence (such as Corsica before its sub-division and Pyrénées-Orientales), most of the best studies have therefore been of provinces with a larger and more durable substance. Among them, some of the jewels in the crown of French historiography have been regional studies of 1848 and the Second Republic, such as those by Vigier, Lévêque and Corbin.[2] However, precisely because departments generally have both a rough geographic rationale and an intriguing diversity, they have also been the locus of superb historiography of the same period, as in the cases of the Var and Loiret. Christophe Voilliot discusses the pluses and minuses of his chosen arena of analysis, the department of Yonne in Burgundy, while conceding in the end that it worked best for him simply because he happened to be living there! Certainly, Yonne is an example of geographic diversity, 160km from northwest to southeast, its landscape contrasting from the limestone of Chablis to the wooded hills of Puisaye and Morvan and the Yonne valley, a laboratory to analyze divergent political behavior.

  • Hotel Barge Burgundy
    BURGUNDY – EASY WALKING & HOTEL BARGE CRUISING 7-days / 6-nights from Clamecy to Auxerre – includes free transfers from and to central Paris Departs: Sunday 31st May 2020 Cost: $7195 per person (there are two single use cabins available with no extra cabin supplement) A cruising and walking journey through history filled with the charm of times past. We cruise the River Yonne past nearby Chablis, Avalon, Vézelay and Clamecy in the heart of Burgundy. Interwoven with sections of the Nivernais canal, we cruise through 35 locks, past a succession of pretty stone-built villages along a waterway once used for floating timber and wine barrels downstream to Paris. Our journey combines cruising with a carefully planned program of guided walks. Starting with a bus transfer from our meeting point in central Paris we join our hotel barge in Clamecy. The barge accommodates up to 12 guests in eight air-conditioned, double, twin or single cabins. Each cabin has its own private bathroom. The daily guided walks follow the many paths and lanes that run between the River Yonne, Nivernais canal and the smaller River Cure. They take us to the timeless villages of the old Burgundy. This is easy walking taking you through woods, fields, vineyards and villages and over river bridges into cafés and on to drinks by the riverside. We offer morning or afternoon walks which will allow you to cruise and do the excursions too. In addition to the walking there are daily guided excursions by air-conditioned bus – to medieval towns, chateaux and the glorious vineyards of Chablis – blending culture and shopping opportunities along the way.

  • The Classic Nivernais – Peaceful Cruising in Burgundy

Although much of our 83km cruise will be in a rural setting, we will be able to enjoy the lovely views of mediaeval Joigny and magnificent Auxerre, both amongst the best riverside vistas in all of France. With 39 locks to pass through and always cruising at barely more than walking pace, this is a great opportunity to see the real Burgundy in intimate close-up; and there will be good opportunity for a towpath walk along some of the canal sections on the Nivernais – a favourite cruise of Prunella Scales and Timothy West on their Great Canal Journeys series. A substantial tributary of the Seine, the River Yonne rises in the great expanse of the remote Morvan Regional Park, a natural watershed between the catchments of the Loire and the Seine basin. Downstream navigation on the river had been contrived since mediaeval times by a system of artificial flash-flooding where weirs would be suddenly opened at a pre-appointed time each week Booking Codes G102 & G112 to propel all manner of craft, and firewood-rafts, downstream on the flood wash.
