Hotel Barge Savoir Faire - Barging in France
Cruise the French canals of Burgundy
For many years now, the Captain and crew of the Savoir Faire have enjoyed a steady increase in family charters aboard this splendid vessel and exceptional reviews. With far more public areas than many other barges, you need never feel crowded. Find a quiet corner, relax and enjoy the peace and beauty of the countryside as we gently glide past historical villages and delightful views.
Our family cruises are designed with your family in mind. We have, in addition to our marvellous itinerary, a multitude of offerings for children of all ages. Each day has been created to ensure that there's never a dull moment. This is one vacation that your children and grandchildren will remember forever.
