Taking A Relaxing France Barge Trip

By Allyson Burke


To enjoy the beauty and splendor of the countryside of France you can tour the Eiffel Tower. Or you can take a relaxing France barge trip which can be the perfect choice for your holiday. The splendor of smallness is what these boats offer you.

Many dislike the enormous cruise ships that cater to a lot of people. But a barge cruise doesn't focus on more, it hones in on the things less seen while traveling. Experiencing small towns and local people is possible when you are slowly meandering down a local river. Even more important these trips focus on you, as their guest, and making your vacation a relaxing and unique experience.

These barges were once working vessels that carried necessary items like coal, grain, and food to the people that lived along the waterway. With renovation, their cargo is instead people wanting to experience France from a relaxing deck chair. The water these boats move down is narrow and these crafts were created for them, but that doesn't mean any luxury or pampering is lost on your vacation.

Food and local culture are the focus of the itinerary. Visiting inland regions of the Upper Loire, Champagne, and Burgundy you see not only the beauty but the local economies that these people have created. The proximity to the shore will allow you to get off and on easily which means a walk for pleasure or exercise is available anytime. With all inclusively you don't have to worry about opening your wallet the entire trip.

French food and wine is an integral part of a vacation here. The meals on board focus on the cuisine of the region and using local fare. Whether you are enjoying a wine pairing with a perfect roasted chicken for dinner or the buttery crunch of a croissant, the food will be one of the highlights of your trip. Not only will you eat well on board, but there are daily excursions to taste regional foods, wine, and even the chance to wander through a castle.

The barges are brightly painted and bring to mind a child's play toy. But on board the rooms and appointments are beautifully furnished and designed to keep a tone to French country or antiques. The rooms are a bit larger and more luxurious as there are not as many cabins on each barge, and this is adds to the quaintness of your trip. Fewer guests mean much more attention paid to each individual.

The water that you are moving on is narrow and there are many lochs along the way. The barges are built to maneuver these rivers. But the wonderful aspect of being so close to the shore is you are able to get off to enjoy the local landscape and towns with a brisk walk. Or perhaps you can decide to simply be a voyeur as you settle into a deck chair with a glass of wine. Either way, you experience the local flair with the many trips planned by the crew to local wine growers, artisans, and even castles.

Taking a relaxing France barge trip may change your opinion of cruising altogether. Intimate and personal, these boats cater to you and your whims while enjoying the culture you are surrounded by. France is waiting.
