Enjoy green tourism in Burgundy on the waterways on a hotel barge or canal cruiser along the Canal de Bourgogne or Canal du Nivernais. Walk in the Morvan Forest, a marvellous place for bird watching, or watersports, play golf in the grounds of a château, cycle through the vineyards or take a bird's eye view from a balloon. After the exercise, the region's celebrated food and wine will taste even better.

Ballooning		Barge Vacations
A balloon flight over the châteaux and villages of Burgundy is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.		‘We ate like the Dukes of Burgundy’ says Marilyn Floyde who spent a week enjoying Burgundy from a new watery perspective cruising on the Nivernais Canal on board the hotel barge ‘Luciole’

Canal Cruising		Cycling

Golf		Microlighting (ULMs)
With the backdrop of a château and beautiful countryside, there are 18 golf courses to choose from across Burgundy.		The sky’s the limit if you have a microlight. Renaud Guy, the founder of Cosmos ULM, has travelled far and wide testing and marketing his machines built at Dijon-Darois…
