Embark on a peaceful, idyllic journey of discovery along France's waterways, which will take you to picturesque regions and introduce you to their charm in a variety of ways. Aboard Belmond's luxurious Les Bateaux houseboats, you can relax in stylish comfort and enjoy sensational regional cuisine on deck as you glide along picturesque riverbanks. On land, individual excursions await you, ranging from truffle hunting and go-karting to exquisite wine and cheese tastings, hot air balloon rides, and horseback riding. Here you can experience the charm of France from the water and get to know the different regions at their best.
Come aboard and enjoy a champagne reception – a taste of the delights that await you here. Every imaginative meal is prepared by the chefs on board, who always source their ingredients and products fresh from the markets along the route. You can enjoy a hearty breakfast in your own cabin or outdoors, while lunch and dinner are served in the magnificent surroundings of the dining rooms. Meals on board are included in the fare, but culinary highlights such as exclusive wine tours, truffle tastings, or tastings of the finest French cheeses await you at individual stops.
Each boat in the Les Bateaux Belmond fleet offers unique accommodations, but all share a distinct sense of elegance and luxury. The spacious cabins feature thoughtful details and a particularly high level of comfort. Look forward to sparkling, bright bathrooms, state-of-the-art technology, and much more. Some ships have heated pools, others are decorated with antiques and murals—and one even has a grand piano on board as a highlight. Privacy and togetherness are guaranteed, as each boat can accommodate between four and twelve people.
Discover France on rivers and canals, simply let the romantic landscapes pass you by and enjoy a fine wine with French soft cheese – if that's the stuff your vacation dreams are made of, then you should come aboard the Les Bateaux Belmond fleet. Each of the luxurious houseboats has been individually designed and offers you not only the highest level of comfort but also personalized service from multilingual staff. Relax on the sun deck, make yourself comfortable in the lounge, or pick up some new reading material from the on-board library.
