Cruising le Canal du Midi
All-inclusive luxury barging
A delightful cruise along sections of the historic Canal du Midi between Carcassonne and Marseillan on the inland sea of Bassin de Thau. Join the 10 berth ATHOS, the 8 berth ANJODI, which featured in Rick Stein's French Odyssey, or take an exclusive charter of the 4 berth ALOUETTE. Each barge follows a different daily cruise schedule.
Cruising in Gascony
All-inclusive luxury barging
The luxury barge ROSA offers comfortable en suite accommodation for up to 8 passengers cruising the Canal Latéral through the peaceful Gascony countryside. The ROSA featured in Rick Stein's TV series The French Odyssey.
Cruising in Burgundy
All-inclusive luxury barging
A leisurely journey through the rolling countryside, history and viniculture of Burgundy aboard the 12 berth L'IMPRESSIONISTE or the 8 berth LA REINE PEDAUQUE along the Burgundy Canal west from Dijon and south towards the region wine capital of Beaune and continuing to Chateauneuf-en-Auxoise. LA REINE PEDAUQUE has been specially adapted to accommodate wheelchair passengers.
River Cruising in Provence
All-inclusive luxury floating hotel
This is an all-inclusive holiday to which we can add overland travel and additional nights in hotels before or after your cruise. The cruise includes interesting daily excursions to discover the history and culture of this beautiful and fascinating region.
On your river cruise holiday
As your floating hotel moves sedately along on your river cruise holiday, just step ashore at a lock and stroll or cycle along the towpath with the reassuring knowledge that your hotel barge is waiting further down the canal. Stumble across the local villagers playing a game of boules, or discover an enchanting vineyard, its juicy grapes bursting with ripeness and ready to be picked.
Your Master Chef, as well as creating the finest of dishes, is invariably something of a culinary historian and a mine of information when it comes to regional recipes, cheeses and, of course, wine. Housekeeper and deck-hand busy themselves at keeping the ship clean and tidy, re-positioning the barge vehicle, preparing the bicycles and generally making sure everything is just how you would like it to be.
