Ultimate Travels On Luxury Barge Cruises France

By Angel Dudley


The barges from long ago were designed for work. They carried coal, grain and many other cargoes back and forth between cities and countries. They have been transformed into floating hotels for the luxury barge cruises France holidays today. They offer a vacation experience that will regale you with the luxury of royalty.

The client can choose between booking a suite for one or two or reserving the entire boat for personal use. One has the option of using the facility for private family based affairs or communing with the other passengers to create the perfect vacation. Families can enjoy reunions or even reconnecting with friends or business associates.

The sizes of the suites range from 100 square feet for first class bookings up to 160 square feet for the ultra deluxe cabins. The size of your accommodations also determines the level of luxury in your room and the cost of your booking. Prices range from three to eight thousand dollars per person. The overall appearance of the vessel displays an air of elegance in appointments and decor.

Considering that the cost of these trips are expensive the fact that they offer all inclusive is a plus. The companies include your suite, all meals, side trips for escorted tours, and shopping. Ideally the only money you will spend will be for private shopping and tips for the crew. There is even a train that takes you direct to the station to meet up with the crew of the barge.

In France the courses taken generally include Burgundy, Alsace, Normandy, Champagne, and the South of France. The Burgundy region offers the Nivernais and Briare Canals which are particularly beautiful. The South of France is famous for the Provence and the Canal du Midi but all tours are special.

The Canal du Midi was considered to be a major European accomplishment when it was built. It travels one hundred forty nine miles between Toulouse and Sete on the Mediterranean Sea. It was created in the period between 1667 and 1681 as a means of protection from the dangers of travel of open sea.

The Canal du Midi passes vineyards and fields of grain as it wanders serenely through the country side. The path that served tow horses and foot travelers centuries ago now welcomes people on bikes, people on hikes and those who yearn to follow in the foot steps of history. The tranquil atmosphere along this route is fostered by an army of fifty thousand ancient sycamore trees that shade the way for travelers.

The ultimate experience for travelers awaits with luxury barge cruises France offers. The serenity and tranquility experienced walking or biking along the waterways takes one back to days long past. They offer outstanding cuisine, select wines and cheeses combined with the luxurious cabins and accommodations on a barge that is crewed by personnel ready to pamper and cater to your individual needs to provide you with the experience of a lifetime.
