We have a new video for the
French Hotel Barge l'Art de Vivre that offers barging cruises along the Canal du Nivernais in Burgundy, France.
Cruise beautiful Burgundy aboard the luxury crewed
French Hotel Barge L'Art de Vivre this Spring.
Spring is the ideal time for a hotel barge cruise and we are now
offering great savings aboard the 8-passenger L'Art de Vivre, which
cruises the Lower Nivernais Canal and River Yonne in Burgundy.
The
weather is mild and sunny and with the leaves budding on the trees,
late spring is beautiful in Burgundy. L'Art de Vivre's itinerary
features visits to such scenic and historic sites as the medieval town
of Auxerre and the spectacular hilltop village of Vezelay. There is also
a wine-tasting in Chablis.

The 8-passenger L'ART DE VIVRE started life in 1917 as a Scottish munitions carrier. Many, many years later the barge was transformed by a team of skilled craftsmen into a floating celebration of the Burgundian "good life". She was renovated in 2009, and is continuously maintained to a high standard. Among upgrades for this winter, l'Art de Vivre has new carpets in the cabins, plus a new on-deck spa pool.
L'Art de Vivre is 100-feet long, has air conditioning and central heat, and accommodates up to 8 guests in four cabins that can be either configured as twins or doubles according to your preference. They have a six-person spa pool/jacuzzi/hot tub (whatever you wish to term it!), 8 touring bicycles, and also a tandem bike. The crew of four, comprised of Captain, Tour Guide, Master Chef and
Hostess, all have a love for the Nivernais canal and are secure in the
knowledge that their vessel represents L'Art de Vivre itself...
