ALL ABOUT BARGING
WHICH HOTEL BARGE?
WHICH REGION?

Hotel barging is the most comfortable and luxurious way to experience the canals of France. Combining fine dining and a well researched exploration of the highlights of the region by barge and shore based excursions. 

The barge will be your home for the duration of your cruise. You can join shore based excursion to a nearby vineyard's or local medieval villages, walk or cycle along the towpath which follows the canal, or simply sit back on the sun deck and watch the countryside go past. 

Most of these barges are cruising in the Burgundy region and the south of France, but we also offer barges in the Loire valley, the Midi, England,  Scotland and Italy.

Unlike any other form of transport the barge drifts along with no apparent motion. The passing countryside is so close that you can hear it, smell it, and even chat to the locals fishing as you pass within feet of their rod and line. There is a real magic in being part of this floating home, and we invite you to share it.
