Cruise Lines International. Inland Waterways Intl — Barge Assocn. The information published here results from more than ten years personal experience cruising the waterways from north to south and east to west. At the helm of this five-star retreat on the River Yonne, Jean-Michel Lorain conjures up dishes that are colourful, playful and surprising in their simplicity, putting quality ingredients in the spotlight.
Sumptuous specialties may include Back from the Islands rosette of lobster and fresh palm nut salad, and Egg Parfait with white Alba truffles and puy green lentils. To start the adventure, a cocktail cruise gives you your first taste of life on the river, followed by a delicious dinner on board.
Alight from the barge for lunch at the three-Michelin-starred Lameloise. Here, welcoming interiors of exposed stone and wooden beams honour Burgundian heritage, while the exquisite cuisine takes the best of local tradition and transforms it into mouthwatering masterpieces. Afterwards, enjoy a private wine tasting at a reputed local producer before returning to the barge for dinner on board.
With its serene setting overlooking the park and its century-old trees, Table de Levernois offers a restful, rejuvenating atmosphere. After a sumptuous lunch on board, your guide takes you on a beautiful walk to St Philibert abbey, a gem of romanesques architecture followed by a short drive to the stunning medieval town of Brancion where you can admire the fantastic views overlooking the Brionnais.
