French Hotel Barge ROI SOLEIL gets a new ride

Guillaume from the French hotel barge ROI SOLEIL who offers barging cruises along the Canal du Midi, sent us a photo of their new minivan... What a sweet looking ride !!!

ROI SOLEIL has upgraded to a Mercedes Benz Viano Ambiente V6 3.0 CDi

In typical Roi Soleil style, this is a top Ambiente version with full leather seats and wood trim, split air conditioning, air suspension, 2 sliding doors, V6 3.0 engine... a very smooth and luxurious ride.
This is the 8-seat version so an extra seat can be added for the nanny or helper. Normally they will have it configured with 7 seats for added space.

You will find that the river yacht Roi Soleil maintains an excellent quality/price ratio and a very competitive price point in the ultra deluxe segment.

Roi Soleil is available for private, luxury, barge cruises in the South of France and accommodates up to six guests in three double cabins with Queen-sized berths. Roi Soleil is fully air conditioned throughout and has a spa pool, Bose sound system, DVD library, bicycles, even a fireplace!


Every day, during the course of your barge trip, your private chef will cater to your preferences while surprising you with an imaginative cuisine, taking on the best accents of the Mediterranean.


Cooking demonstrations are open to all who wish to learn. The galley was designed for this with an open plan and a bar where you can watch with a glass in hand while the chef happily explains what she is doing.

The wines are carefully selected by the owner with the best sommeliers of the region. They represent the quintessence of Languedoc & Provence as well as the top appellations of the whole of France. You will also find the bar stocked with your favourite drinks.

Roi Soleil still has some openings for the 2013 season. I'm surprised to see that they still have three weeks available in September which is the most popular month for barging trips:
  • September 1-7
  • September 8-14
  • September 15-21
Get them before they're gone... inquire!
