Carol has kindly linked my trip report. We used Le Boat, and as others have noted, they are part of the Moorings group (but note that they don't give discounts for repeat customers across lines, so I've you've ever used Moorings or Sunsail before, Le Boat doesn't care). These barges can't be any easier or more comfortable; in fact, if you're used to sailboats, you're over-qualified and need to quash any instincts to try to fix things yourself. The only tools you need are a hammer (to drive in the stake to which you'll tie your boat) and a phone (to call the base).

Even though we had cruddy weather, our barge trip through a stretch of the Canal du Midi (chosen for how few locks there are) was one of my favorite vacations ever. It's such an easy, laid-back way to travel. And the wine!

Can't give you much guidance on Burgundy, but if you have any other questions about the experience in general, let me know.
