The wife and I had driven around this region of Burgundy many times in our search for vineyards and burgundies in our younger days when wine was an attractive hobby...so we went on this cruise for old time's sake, originally meant to be the Rhone-Saone confluence upwards, but high water and low bridges meant that we stayed on the Saone and saw that region of Burgundy along its banks...old Roman villages with wines of respected vintage, cathedrals, venerable hospices and abbeys...altogether a happy experience, nostalgic and with fond memories...very happy that we were fortunate to have done this at this time of our lives...!!
