If you search the Internet you will undoubtedly find several choices for this unique vacation style. What makes the Meanderer different is our single minded focus for canal cruises. France is our only destination, and we focus on our one vessel. We strive to make it the best, most luxurious accommodations available in the industry and are confident we have succeeded. Some of the things you can expect when you stay with us are:
What more could you want in French canal barge tours? France is beautiful no matter how you see it, but with the fine accommodations and pampering you will receive on the Meanderer there is no way to enjoy it more.
We believe when you specialize in something you naturally do it better. That's why all of our focus and energies are on our one vessel, the Meanderer and its canal cruises. France is the only area we tour, and we strive to bring you only the finest wines and food to fully enhance your experience. We have worked hard to create the best floating accommodations available anywhere. Our fine furniture, food, and amenities rival those of any five star hotel, but it is the personal service that really sets a Meanderer experience apart.
Our staff ratio comes close to one on one attention, meaning that your every desire and need are quickly met. You expect something different than a traditional experience on canal barge tours. France as a native might see it, in some ways, and as someone a hundred years ago might have experienced it in others. That's the experience our skilled, highly trained staff make available and their focus for each minute of your trip.
The goal of everyone associated with the Meanderer is to bring a smile on your face each time you remember your experience. From food to excursions to accommodations to amenities, we focus on your full satisfaction and complete French experience. We invite you to browse through the photos on our site. Words do not do justice to the beauty that awaits with a leisurely floating vacation through the French countryside.
