We offer high-end cruises to explore the inland waterways of Southern France on board two very unique hotels barges cruising on the famous Canal du Midi :
The “Esperance” is admired to be the barge with the largest sun deck and the largest bedrooms on the canal but also for her gorgeous open to guests wheel house . This iconic hotel boat is an authentic 100ft wine barge from the Canal du Midi. It was built in the 1960s to carry wine between Bordeaux and Sète.
The “Élégance” is directly linked to the history of the Canal du Midi built in the 17th century for commercial reasons as well as to carry passengers faster and safer than diligences. To bring back to life the spirit of a floating carriage this barge offers luxurious accommodations of the 1930 golden age with an exquisite orient Express inspired decor and some incredible Lalique art work.
Your stay will be organized on the basis of a half-day sailing and a half-day activities or excursions in our private luxury Mercedes mini van . The availability and discretion of our professional crew is truly unique and everything will be taken care of up to the smallest details to ensure you have a memorable trip.
