There is no better way to enjoy the splendour of France than by cruising along the rivers and canals that criss-cross the countryside. Past fields of blazing sunflowers, hilltop châteaux and verdant vineyards… take a voyage of discovery, all from the comfort of your ‘péniche-hôtel’.
These luxury barges offer a high crew-to-guest ratio and a personal guide to introduce you to renowned local vineyards, architecture and activities.If you are travelling with family or friends, you can charter two or three vessels together.
Every night the péniche-hôtel berths in a new location and a gourmet dinner is served on board. During the day the barge continues on its way through picturesque locks and riverbanks lined with fishermen. Lazy hours on deck beside the plunge pool are combined with excursions ashore. Bicycles are stored on board, ready for a gentle peddle to a nearby country market. For longer journeys, private transport is on hand, complete with driver and a knowledgeable guide.
