The Barge
The Meanderer is your floating luxury hotel for french barge trips.
The 6 Passenger Meanderer
Originally a 1948 Belgian "Spitz" commercial barge, Meanderer was
converted to a luxury hotel barge in 1992. Since her conversion she has been
continually upgraded and now offers probably the most luxurious six passenger
barge specification available in Europe. With three en-suite cabins each measuring
in excess of 125 square feet, large lounge and dining areas, a spacious, teak
covered sun-deck and an outdoor heated spa-pool, she is the perfect vessel
for exploring the Upper Loire in style.
The flexible twin or queen bed arrangements and newly decorated, air-conditioned cabins and salon perfectly complement the spacious outdoor space.

The barge is equipped with 220v AC power sockets throughout.
We regret the barge is unsuitable for small children. However, we welcome children of 12 and over for charter groups and over 16's for non-charter bookings.
For the safety and comfort of our guests we operate a no-smoking policy throughout the barge.
