If you are looking for comfortable privacy and complete relaxation, we have a special proposal. Specifically, the river cruises offered by the Belmond hospitality group.
Wake up in luxury every day. Wind along the Canal du Midi, whose waters are bordered by the forests of Carcassonne or Béziers, on your way to mysterious medieval fortresses. Or, why not, through Burgundy or Provence.
You have the perfect opportunity to stop by the sunny vineyards in the area to taste the area’s renowned harvests or drinks. Don’t miss the bustling markets either, where you can choose fresh ingredients for dinner with the private chef. Sounds good, doesn’t it?
And these are not big words at all. It’s about a unique way to spend your holiday or a romantic getaway that is offered by a division of the Belmond hospitality group, which provides you with converted barges to offer you, on the water, the comfort of a luxury villa.
The boats offer a twin and a double room, each with its own shower. The cabins are spacious, punctuated by comfort and refined luxury. The furniture is unique, handmade by renowned artisans in France, and the interior is dominated by pastel shades, offering optimal conditions for a relaxing stay.
There is also no shortage of cutting-edge technology, for those who do not want to completely break from the daily routine. As well as, depending on the barge, you can have at your disposal a swimming pool with heated water or even a grand piano at which, on quiet evenings, under the moonlight, the artists provided by Belmond will delight you with classical music recitals or café concerts.
As I mentioned, such a getaway could not fail to benefit from tours through the vineyards encountered along the route, but also to local farmers. Thus, you have the opportunity to go down to taste truffles, different cheeses or some of the most famous local wines. The itinerary includes the best vineyards, the cruise being also a culinary experience in itself.
More than thirty vineyards await you, along with a visit to some of the most famous castles in Burgundy. Obviously, you are expected on site by the best experts in the culinary and wine field – with exclusive information.
