I have been fortunate enough on more than one occasion to be able to watch images of stunning landscapes on television while luxuriating in a bathtub, but I never imagined in my wildest dreams that this could happen in real life. That is, of course, until – amazingly – fantasy became reality, on board the luxury barge La Belle Epoque, the European Waterways vessel that cruises the Burgundy Canal, in the heart of one of France’s premier wine regions.
