Cruise
the Burgundy Canal aboard the luxury French Hotel Barge Prospérité
PROSPÉRITÉ
Discover
the Beauty of the Bourgogne Region of France
with a cruise along the Burgundy Canal
Enjoy the unparalleled history and beauty of the Burgundy region in
France aboard Prospérité — 150 vineyards, cellars and wine traders in
the region are open for sampling and more than 32 fine restaurants bear
Michelin stars, including four 3-star establishments.
A
Prospérité barge cruise offers some of the largest rooms and highest
level of amenities you will find on any of the barges in France. Enjoy
the space and comfort of luxury accommodations.
Time
seems to stand still as the barge slowly motors by quaint stone
churches and well-kept houses, periodically pausing at moss-covered
locks, as it makes its leisurely way from one town to the next. You can
catch up on your reading on deck, enjoy a delicious, well-prepared
repast from the fully equipped kitchen or simply relax to the gentle
sounds of water lapping against the hull, and enjoy the quiet sensation
that comes with unplugging yourself from the 24/7 world on a luxury
barge cruise.
If
you’re feeling more adventurous, the Prospérité barge cruise features
daily excursions in our accompanying Mercedes minibus into the
surrounding countryside. You will explore the local chateaux or sip the
wares of one of the many local vineyards. During the seven days and six
nights of each excursion, the 128-foot long Prospérité will serve as
your floating home. Expressly designed and constructed to meet the
expectations of upscale travelers desiring to experience the luxury of
barge travel in France, the newly launched craft features a level of
accommodations unmatched on France’s inland waterways.
Barge
tours are best enjoyed slowly, completely, fully. While you savor the
taste of a crusty baguette whisked fresh from the oven, the exquisite
bouquet of a glass of vintage burgundy or cognac, or the velvet texture
of aged Camembert or Brie melting upon the tongue, luxiuriate on a
French barge cruise. Take a week cruising centuries-old canals through
the verdant fields and picturesque villages of provincial
France.
