The boat

For many years, the Fleur has been a popular choice. This tasteful passenger barge, with its sleek lines, was built to navigate the smaller locks and canals of France and has been cruising its waterways since 2002. On board, there are 10 comfortable cabins on the lower deck, accommodating up to 20 guests. All cabins are equipped with private bathroom facilities, central heating and air conditioning. Have a drink in the lounge with large windows on the upper deck, featuring a spacious sitting area and bar, or relax outside on the partially covered sun deck. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee, tea or a glass of wine while taking in the scenery along the way. For more information about the boat, visit our Fleur page.
