A barging holiday through Burgundy tasting the top wines and I mean top wines of the region. Prices are not for the faint hearted, but I have never tasted wines of this Calibre for six days in a row ever.

We have found a perfect pair of gites near Cluny. They are simply but adequately furnished, no satellite dish or dishwasher, just plain comfortable living. We came for Taize and this place at the edge of a forest has such tranquillity it fitted with our week of meditation. You can sit for hours in the garden and hear no man-made noises: quite incredible in the 21st century. Knowing the area, we brought our bikes with us for some exercise. The cycle track the Voie Verte runs almost past the house and is amazingly flat so that you can go for miles without too much effort!

A truly excellent find - perfect for a stopover when driving to southern France or Italy from the UK.

The view from the clean, airy and beautifully decorated bedroom is of Chateau de clos Vougeout, and vineyards as far as the eye can see.

Fantastic continental breakfast, with everything beautifully displayed on platters. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Equidistant between Dijon and Beaune on the N74 (exit No 1 on the A31).
