Video: Everyday Gourmet with Justine Schofield Featuring Hotel Barge La Belle Epoque | Boeuf Bourguignon | S14 Ep39

Cooking this French delight with Burgundy wine while gliding through the canals of Burgundy? It doesn’t get any better!
Cruising the Burgundy Canal aboard European Waterways’ 12-passenger hotel barge, La Belle Epoque, Justine lived like the locals, sampling the very best of the region’s wine, cheese, renowned dishes, and of course the fascinating history and architecture of Burgundy, including its magnificent châteaux and medieval centres.
