There's nothing like a barge vacation to truly enjoy local towns and countryside. When you go barging you combine the best of luxury hotel accommodations and leisurely cruising. If you are considering canal barge tours France is a premier destination. You can enjoy the countryside in a way not really possible with other touring options. A France barge vacation brings you through charming countryside, working vineyards, near ancient architectural beauty, and through the heart of lovely little towns. All this while you enjoy lavish amenities aboard your floating home away from home if you like, or disembark to wander through an area that looks interesting on foot or by bicycle. What could be better?
It's so nice to be pampered. Most of the year, we work and take care of the business of our lives. When we vacation a little spoiling is in order. This is an integral part of a France barge vacation.
Aboard a luxurious French canal barge like the Meanderer you will find almost one staff person per customer. The entire focus of our friendly, skilled crew is to create the best experience of your life. Simply gliding through countryside in luxury canal boats alone is memorable but when you add a gourmet chef preparing meals to your specifications, off trips to match your tastes, and fine regional wines you have a vacation beyond compare.
Is there anything more romantic than floating through beautiful scenery? And any place more romantic than France? You can combine the two with canal barge tours. France is a perfect destination for this kind of trip. You can explore an entire region, from countryside to small towns to vineyards, in luxury while unpacking only once! Luxury canal boats provide an unparalleled experience. What other type of tourism allows you such an intimate view of the country while being pampered each minute of the day?
The Meanderer has almost one crew member for each customer, and carefully selects a chef to provide gourmet French meals. What would a trip to France be without fine food anyway? But rather than dressing and locating an appropriate restaurant each day, the meal comes right to you! With the addition of local cheeses and Regional wines the gourmand in you will be as fully sated as the tourist.
While you could spend your entire vacation aboard the barge each day offers the opportunity for captivating off trips. Local museums, antique shops, or biking through native vineyards are all possibilities to enhance your trip. For a France you will never forget, consider barging.
