✨🚤 Le Voyage de Luciole 🚤✨

🇫🇷 Discover Les Rochers du Saussois 🇫🇷

🧗‍♂️ Rising to almost 60 meters above the Yonne River, it is one of Burgundy’s most remarkable natural landmarks — a dramatic formation of limestone cliffs, with fossilised remains of a coral reef, carved over millions of years.

Long admired by artists, nature lovers, and rock climbers for its striking vertical faces, the views are as beautiful from the water, as from the top of the cliffs. This natural wonder brings an extraordinary sense of calm that defines the region.

🛥️ Aboard the Luciole, drift past these iconic cliffs from the quiet comfort of the deck, with a glass of fine Burgundy wine in hand, and watch the reflections shimmer on the water. 🍷

This is not just a holiday — it’s an invitation to experience Burgundy’s most captivating landscapes in complete comfort and style.

✨ A truly unforgettable highlight of your journey through France. ✨

🇫🇷 Discover Mailly-le-Château — A Hidden Jewel of Burgundy’s Yonne Valley 🇫🇷

✨ What makes the fortified village of Mailly-le-Château so special? ✨

🏰 Perched high above the valley, the medieval Mailly Castle and its ancient ramparts overlook the village below. Nearby, a scenic terrace offers breathtaking panoramic views of the winding Yonne River, the Canal du Nivernais, and the lush Burgundian countryside.

⛪ Dating from the 13th century and listed as a Historic Monument, the fortified Gothic Church of Saint-Adrien is striking for its three naves and dramatic façade framed by towering buttresses.

🌿 Follow the steep historic path down to the lower village where charming stone houses sit peacefully along the water. Here you’ll find:
• The 15th-century double-arched bridge, the oldest in the region
• The tiny Chapel of Saint-Nicholas, patron saint of bargemen
• The picturesque Wolf’s Fountain, tied to an old 18th-century legend
• Beautiful riverside views of the castle towering above

🌳 Just outside the village, the Bois du Parc Nature Reserve invites visitors to explore cliffs, rare plants, and a 150-million-year-old fossilised coral reef. Walk the discovery trail and follow interpretive signs that bring this ancient landscape to life — a favourite activity for walkers, nature lovers, and photographers.

🛥️ Experience It the Best Way — By Barge. No rushing. No crowds. Just the quiet beauty of Burgundy unfolding around you.
