A serene exploration of France’s waterways

Relish every moment of your journey as you glide along on one of our seven luxurious barges

We make it a point of pride to ensure your every need is taken care of. Relax in stylish comfort and dine on sensational cuisine as you drift along picturesque riverbanks, then moor for tailor-made excursions. Our customised itineraries range from truffle hunting and go-karting to hot air ballooning and horse-riding.

THE EXPERIENCE

A champagne reception on deck marks the beginning of a remarkable voyage. Savour a slower pace of life as you spread out on deck or in the luxurious interiors. Then head ashore to discover the art of truffle hunting or the secrets of the Grands Crus vineyards.
Accompany your chef to the market and pick out fresh produce for the evening’s feast. Onboard and off, every need is taken care of––just sit back, and let your senses set sail.
