 Hotel barge the Art de Vivre

Cruising Burgundy - Upper Nivernais Canal

THE 8 PASSENGER L'ART DE VIVRE ....
started life as a Scottish munitions carrier and survived long enough to be transformed by a team of skilled craftsmen into a floating celebration of the Burgundian "good life". Your crew of four comprise Captain, Tour guide, Master Chef and Hostess, all with a love for the Nivernais canal and all secure in the knowledge that their vessel represents L'Art de Vivre itself.  The Art de Vivre will be totally refurbished below for the 2009 season.
