Have you been dreaming of visiting France? Did your dream involve you relaxing on your private barge in between wine tastings, exploring the history of the area, and luxe dinners? If not… it should have!

While the word “barge” may not bring to mind a super luxe and customized travel experience – when Belmond is involved this is exactly what guests encounter! During their 6 night itineraries available in Burgundy, Champagne, Provence and other areas in Southern France, Belmond barge journeys spoil guests both on board and off. Daily activities may include things like venturing into the hills of Burgundy in search of truffles with your trusty guide and dog, heading to the market in Narbonne in search of ingredients for your dinner, tasting your way through vintage bubbles at some of Champagne’s most legendary producers, or enjoying the sunrise in Provence from the serenity of your private hot air balloon.

Start your Belmond barging off with a champagne toast then relax in comfort as you drift along picturesque riverbanks on board one of the 7 barges which range in size from 4 to 12 guests. Enjoy gourmet meals prepared by your private on board chef while watching the sun set from the deck of your private vessel. What a way to get friends or family together again to reconnect after a long time spent apart! Celebrate good times with your cherished companions and let your cares drift away.
