In the summer of 1999, Erasmus Kloman and his family chartered a barge and piloted it along the lovely Burgundy and Nivernais canals in France. In "Barging in Burgundy" Mr. Kloman combines a narrative travelogue with practical how-to-do-it instructions. He tells readers what they need to know about taking a barge trip -- including how to determine which barge company to procure, what supplies to bring on board, and how to maneuver the locks encountered on the trip. At the same time, he lyrically describes the romance of travel in Burgundy, its remarkable history, breathtaking architecture, its wines and hearty cuisines. Also included are a list of sites worth a visit, restaurants, emergency numbers, and recipes from the region. This is a wonderful resource guide for adventurous travelers contemplating a barge trip or readers who just want to vicariously experience the beauty and tranquility of a barge trip through the French countryside.

5.0 out of 5 stars Future barger

Just starting to read this book, but we have been talking of, at the very least, renting a barge. What would be better is maybe buying and actually living on a barge. What an adventure. This book is greatly assisting in the decision making process.

3.0 out of 5 stars Barging in Burgundy is pretty Bare about the subject
Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2012

The book suffers from being far too general. A little bit about barging but not enough. The same about the history and food/wine of the area. Just too general
