Continental Waterways
Barging In France!
What a relaxing … rewarding … rejuvenating way to sample a big slice of the French experience! No wonder so many people are devoted to barging. We had a wonderful time … lazily drifting down picture book waterways … stopping in charming villages … anchoring along scenic waterways … enjoying quality days sightseeing on a private Continental Waterways bus (following us the entire cruise) … accompanied by our own on-board cultural guide, Vivienne Gautier. A delightful, well-informed Sorbonne-educated young woman, Vivienne managed to answer all our questions … the vast majority right on site. And, what sites … magnificent chateaux … colorful markets in quaint towns … art museums … ancient abbeys … soaring cathedrals … local vineyards (and private wine tastings). Dining on board? A gastronomic adventure, in many courses, prepared by chefs all trained in top French schools. Wines, both red and white, matched perfectly to the gourmet cuisine. Add to this a charming and comfortable cruising vessel, an excellent crew (one to each three passengers) well trained and eager to please, passengers totaling a convivial 20 to 51 depending on the size of the barge … and we found ourselves with a uniquely pleasing vacation palette tough to beat.

All vessels are air conditioned throughout with private wood paneled, windowed staterooms and private bath - attractively furnished with twin beds, armoire, drawers and desk.
