The Fleur de Lys is the ultimate in luxury barging in France.
She is beautifully appointed, with three ultra spacious
staterooms, each with their own dressing area and unusually
large ensuite bathrooms. There is a
large salon with a grand piano and large picture windows, a
formal dining room, a covered deck, a fabulous heated
swimming pool and a crew of six to look after the 6 guests
onboard!
The Fleur de Lys cruises primarily through the heart
of the Cote d'Or wine region
in Burgundy.
Enjoy private guided excursions to unspoilt
towns and quaint villages, sample
some of the delicious local wines, cycle along the towpaths
that meander by the canals. Dining is exquisite; lovingly
prepared by your personal chef with only the freshest
ingredients found at the local markets along the way. Whether
it's history, culture, gastronomic meals or simply relaxing
while enjoying the beautiful French countryside, barging is
the way to go.
The Fleur de Lys can be chartered to cruise between
St. Leger and Lyon, Dijon
and Escommes, Dole to St. Leger.
