Fields bright with sunflowers, a château among vineyards, a lock-keeper's cottage with geraniums around the door: these are scenes of France uniquely accessed by the five luxurious Afloat in France péniche-hôtels. Softly gliding along rural waterways, they are the ultimate voyage of discovery.
Pass through remote countryside, with stops at markets, historic sites and to join experts who introduce specialities such as vintage wines. Carrying between 4 and 12 guests, these spacious barges are perfect for a group of family or friends. Gourmet dining and attentive service are provided by the friendly on-board team.

Tailor-made Cruising
When you charter the Afloat in France barges, it’s like having your very own private villa. You enjoy a house-party atmosphere with your family and friends, but with the added benefit of ever-changing scenery outside the windows.
That’s where our tailor-made cruises come in. Whichever péniche-hôtel you select - and they're all available for charter either singularly or in tandem - it will follow its regular course, but your party can choose exactly what you do.
