Hotel Barge ALEGRIA - Shared Charter May 2010

The French Hotel Barge ALEGRIA has a couple who is willing to share their charter with another couple, May 15-21, 2010, Canal du Midi in the south of France.

The crewed luxury Barge Alegria has two cabins and thus accommodates a maximum of 4 guests. Normal rates for a private 2-person charter is $22,500, while in this case you'd be splitting the 4-person rate of $24,000/wk with the other couple, bringing the price down to only $12,000/cabin.

This is a great opportunity for a couple to experience a week aboard ALEGRIA.

Olivier sent us this photo today, captioned "A private concert in a lock".



I'm sure the lockkeeper enjoyed the music as well. Alegria is a barge full of hospitality. We know that they'll take good care of you :)

Savoir Vivre's program is designed to be affordable and to appeal to travelers more interested in experiences than amenities.

Modified 2010 itinerary - Hotel Barge La Belle Epoque

La Belle Epoque has modified their 2010 cruise route. She will be moved to a different cruise route in Burgundy on the Burgundy Canal and will cruise between Pouillenay and Tonnerre.
They felt that a one-hour train between Paris and Montbard would be a preferred option for most of their guests, rather than a 2-3 hour minibus transfer each way. There will be a “meet & greet” person at the station in Paris to ensure that guests will board the correct train and then crew from La Belle Epoque will be at the other end in Montbard to greet guests upon their arrival at the train station.
