ʻO kā mākou huakaʻi o ka ʻike kūloko a me ka ʻai meaʻai aia ma nā kahawai o Burgundy, Farani, ma luna o La Belle Epoque, ka moku hae o European Waterways. Ma mua o ka hoʻololi ʻia ʻana i ka hōkele lana ma 1995 a hoʻoponopono hou ʻia ma 2006, ʻo La Belle Époque kahi moku ukana e lawe ana i nā lāʻau mai Burgundy a i Paris a me Amsterdam. Ua kūkulu ʻia i ka makahiki 1930, he 126 kapuaʻi ka lōʻihi, 16 ½ kapuaʻi ka laulā, a hiki ke holo ma ka wikiwiki o 10 knots (11.5 mph).
ʻO kēlā me kēia lā kahi ʻike i ka moʻomeheu kūloko ma o kāna mau waina a me nā meaʻai ʻāina, nā huakaʻi, a me nā ʻike maʻamau. Hiki paha iā ʻoe ke hele ma mua o nā kaiāulu liʻiliʻi a kipa paha i kahi kauhale kahiko, kūlanakauhale mōʻaukala, a i ʻole hale troglodyte i kālai ʻia mai loko mai o nā pōhaku. Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia kou ʻauinalā no ka hoʻāʻo ʻana i ka waina ma kahi pā waina liʻiliʻi a i ʻole ma ka hale aliʻi nui.
ʻO ka poʻe holo moku - Kāpena, alakaʻi huakaʻi / lima papa, ʻelua kahu hale / hostesses, a me ka chef - hāʻawi i ka lawelawe hoʻolohe a pilikino i ka nui o nā mea kaʻa he 13, ʻo ka hapa nui o lākou mai ʻAmelika ʻAmelika a i ʻole UK. ʻO nā lālā o ka Crew ka mea nui mai UK a ʻōlelo Pelekane a me Farani.
Loaʻa iā La Belle Époque kahi sundeck, kahi wai ʻauʻau liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi, kahi saloon i uhi ʻia i ka lāʻau, kahi hale waihona puke liʻiliʻi, a me kahi lumi ʻaina me kahi pākaukau nui e hiki ai i nā mea holo a pau. ʻO nā hale kaʻa ʻoluʻolu ʻehiku he mau moena māhoe a pālua paha a me nā keʻena en-suite a ua kapa ʻia he ʻelua suites (150 a me 165 sq. ft.), hoʻokahi ma kēlā me kēia hopena; ʻehā suites junior (125-130 sq. ft.); a me hoʻokahi hale noho (90 sq. ft.). ʻO ka pahu hau piha ka ea, a ʻo ka uila he 220 volta Farani.
Ua ʻike mākou iā mākou iho ma waena o nā kauhale kahiko a ma kahi ʻāina e hoʻomanaʻo nei i nā kiʻi pena Impressionist. Aia mākou ma ka ʻāina Burgundy o Farani ma nā kahawai i ʻike ʻia ʻaʻole i ʻoi aku ka laulā ma mua o ko mākou moku. Ua hōʻike ʻia ko mākou ala puka hope i nā vignette o ke ola o kēlā me kēia lā ma kahi ʻano ʻike ʻole ʻia e ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi.
ʻO ke ala maʻamau ma ke kahawai ʻo Nivernais Canal a me ka muliwai ʻo Yonne, akā no ka mea ʻo kā mākou huakaʻi mua o ke kau, ua huakaʻi mākou mai ke kahua hoʻoilo hoʻoilo ma kahi kokoke i nā laka 350 makahiki ʻehiku o Rogny-Les-Sept-Écluses a i Moret -sur-Loing, he kūlanakauhale kahiko i hoʻoikaika i nā mea pena kiʻi Impressionist e like me Monet, Renoir, a me Sisley. Inā hoʻopaʻa ʻia kahi huakaʻi ma ka hoʻomaka a i ʻole ka hopena o ke kau, e hoʻomaʻamaʻa mua i ke ʻano o ka huakaʻi.
ʻO kā mākou huakaʻi lā mua he mākaʻikaʻi i ke kahua kūkulu hale ma Guédelon ma Puisaye ma Yonne. Ua ʻike ka hapa nui o ka poʻe i kēia kahua ma ke ʻano he ʻili i haʻalele ʻia i loko o ka ululāʻau, akā ʻo Michel Guyot, ka mea nāna i hoʻopakele i nā wahi mōʻaukala a puni Farani, ʻike i nā poloka kūkulu - lāʻau, pōhaku, one, a me ka pālolo - o kahi hale kākela o ke kenekulia 13. Me ka hoʻohana wale ʻana i nā ʻenehana hana kahiko i loaʻa i kēlā manawa, he hui o 50 - quarrymen, ʻeleʻele, kamanā, ropemakers, a me nā mea hou aku - hana i kahi papahana i manaʻo ʻia he 25 mau makahiki. A laila, hele mākou i ke kauhale kahi e holo ai ke kahawai Briare i ka muliwai Loire me kahi alahaka 2,174 'i hoʻolālā ʻia e Gustav Eiffel. Ua kau mākou ma ke kahawai e kahi halepule o ke kenekulia 12 ma ke kauhale o Montbouy.
ʻO ka huakaʻi o ka lā aʻe i nā kauhale waina. Ma Chablis, ua mākaʻikaʻi mākou i kahi monastery kahiko o ke kenekulia 9, kahi kahua o kahi paʻi ʻoka o ke kenekulia 13 a me nā waiwai waiwai ʻē aʻe. He ʻono waina i ukali ʻia ma ka Domaine Laroche, ka mea nāna i hana i ka waina Chablis no ʻelima mau hanauna, mai ka makahiki 1850. Ma Domaine Bersan ma St. Bris, ua hele mākou ma waena o nā pahu ʻoka kahiko i loko o kahi labyrinth ma lalo o ka honua i kekahi manawa o nā alahele o ka wā kahiko, aia kekahi i ka lā 11. kenekulia.
Aia ʻo Mooring i kēlā pō ma Montargis, kahi kūlanakauhale i kapa ʻia ʻo Venice of the Gâtinais no kāna mau kahawai he nui. I ke kakahiaka aʻe, mākaʻikaʻi mākou i kāna mākeke ola a hele wāwae ma nā alanui a hiki i ka hale kūʻai mōʻaukala kahi i hana ʻia ai ka candy almond i hana ʻia no ke Duke o Praslines i ka wā o Louis XIII i hana ʻia e like me ka mea ʻai mua. Ma hope o kēlā lā, hele mākou i kahi puʻu paʻa, ʻo Chateau Landon, kahi i hānau ai ka makua kāne o King Henry II a he kūlanakauhale waiwai i ka Middle Ages. Ua hoʻolaʻa ʻia ka mōʻī aliʻi a mākou i kipa aku ai iā St. Severin, nāna i hoʻōla i ka Mōʻī Clovis. Ua hoʻohana ʻia ka pōhaku mai kēia wahi e kūkulu iā Notre Dame a me ka Pantheon ma Paris.
I ka lima o ko makou la, Poaha, ua makaikai makou i ka Halealii nui o Fontainebleau. Hoʻomaka i ke kenekulia 16 ma ke ʻano he hale hopu holoholona a hoʻonui ʻia i nā makahiki 300 e hiki mai ana, ʻo kēia Italian Renaissance extravaganza i hoʻopuni ʻia e kahi nahele 50,000-acre kekahi o nā hale aliʻi nui loa ma Farani. Ua poʻo ʻo Marie Antoinette i kona poʻo ma mua o kona pā ʻana i ka uluna i loko o ke keʻena moe momona i hoʻolālā ʻia nona, a ua haʻalele ʻo Napoliona no ka lawe pio ʻana i Elba mai ke alapiʻi koʻikoʻi o ke kāmaʻa lio āna i kauoha ai.
Ua kau mākou ma ka hema o Fontainebleau ma Nemours. Ua waiwai kekahi ʻohana mai kēia kūlanakauhale, ʻo ka du Pont de Nemours, i ka hana kemika ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. I ke kakahiaka, ʻo ka lā piha hope loa o kā mākou huakaʻi, ua hoʻi mākou i Fontainebleau no ka mākeke Pōʻalima nani.
Ma hope o ka ʻaina awakea ma luna o ka moku, hele mākou i Vaux-le-Vicomte, ka hale hoʻokipa nui ʻo Renaissance-style i lilo i mea hoʻoikaika no Versailles. Aia nā hōʻike koʻikoʻi e hōʻike ana i ke ʻano politika i alakaʻi ʻia ai ka mea nona a me ke Kuhina Waiwai ʻo Nicholas Fouquet i hoʻopaʻa ʻia e King Louis XIV.
ʻO Vaux le Vicomte ka pūnaewele o ka male moʻolelo o Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria lāua ʻo San Antonio Spurs pâʻani pôpeku ʻo Tony Parker a hōʻike ʻia i nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni e like me "The Man in the Iron Mask," "Dangerous Liaisons," a me "Moonraker." Aia nā māla i nā mea maikaʻi loa ma Farani.
ʻO ko mākou pō hope loa, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia mākou ma Moret-sur-Loing, kahi kūlanakauhale kahiko i hoʻoikaika i nā mea pena Impressionist e like me Monet, Renoir, a me Sisley. Ua ʻōlelo ʻia ka hale pule ma ʻaneʻi he mea hoʻoikaika ia no Notre Dame o Paris.

Ma mua o ke kūkulu ʻia ʻana o nā kahawai, ua lawe nā kaʻa lio i nā waiwai ma kēia ʻāina puʻu pinepine. Ke hoʻopau ʻia kēia ʻōnaehana laka i ka makahiki 1832 e pili ana i nā muliwai ʻo Yonne a me Saône, hiki i nā moku ke lawe i nā ukana ma waena o Farani mai ka Moana ʻAkelanika a i ke Kai Mediterranean.

E kaʻahele a i ʻole kaʻa kaʻa ma ke ala kaʻahele, e ʻimi i kahi kauhale kūloko, a kali i ka waʻa e hopu iā ʻoe ma kahi laka.
E nānā i ka hana ʻana o ka mea paʻa i nā alahaka a me nā laka ma ke ʻano he mau kenekulia i ka nalu ʻana o kāna mau keiki mai kā lākou māla a i ʻole nā puka makani o ko lākou hale mōʻaukala.
