Burgundy Canal: Private Electric Boat Cruise & Riverside Picnic

Glide silently through the Burgundy countryside on a private, fully crewed electric canal boat — past willow-lined locks, vine-draped hillsides, and medieval villages — with a gourmet Burgundian picnic laid on deck.

What to expect

Board your private electric boat at Seurre's quay and cast off into the Canal de Bourgogne or along the Saône — both accessible directly from port. A local skipper handles the locks (a hands-on novelty for willing guests) while a catered hamper of local charcuterie, Époisses, Dijon mustard terrines, and a chilled bottle of Côte de Nuits white awaits on the sun deck. Drift past ochre-stoned lock-keeper cottages, fields of Charolais cattle, and the odd kingfisher flashing over glassy water. Disembark refreshed, unhurried, and having seen a Burgundy most visitors never reach.
