Magnolia

Lovingly converted by your hosts, Nicolas and Magali, the Magnolia provides a unique and peaceful haven, where you will instantly feel at home.

Your adventure takes you through the stunning Valley d'Ouche at a relaxed pace.  Rest assured, the Captain and hostess look after the barge, while you relax as you wish.

As you step aboard the fully air-conditioned/centrally heated Magnolia, you will be pleasantly surprised by the exceptional presentation and the spaciousness of the barge.
Stairs lead down into the huge, light saloon.
At one end is the dining table, set close to the galley; at the other end, the large corner sofa invites you to relax over a drink from the guest-accessible bar, tea or coffee machines.
A writing desk is available, complete with a Wi-Fi connection.
You could enjoy a DVD, watch TV, listen to some music on the iPod deck or simply watch the world drift by.
A large luggage space has been built into the barge, and this is accessible from the saloon.  Your bags can be safely stored away for you.

Along the beautifully curved corridor, which ensures privacy by placing the cabins either side of the barge, you will find three tastefully decorated cabins with king-size beds convertible to twins, according to your preference.
Each bed has a 5-zone mattress and superior linens.
All cabins benefit from opening portholes, king-size beds with 5-zone memory-foam mattresses and superior linens.  There are separate, en-suite toilet and shower rooms with one-way glass for privacy.

The 17m2 suite has a writing desk/dressing table and ample storage, including a wardrobe, add to the home from home feeling.

The two, 12 m2 cabins have ample storage and one-way glass in the en-suite bathrooms.

The staircase adjacent to the cabins allows direct access to the spa pool deck, which is the perfect place to relax in the hot tub with a glass of wine after a day exploring this stunning region with your hosts.
If the sun is shining, you could also relax on the 40 m2 aft sun deck, complete with traditional furniture and an automated sunshade
This deck has an outdoor kitchen featuring a plancha barbecue and fridge.

During your self-catering stay, the fully-equipped galley and BBQ are at your disposal, and the crew will help with the shopping.  If you don't wish to cook, you will find restaurants nearby, and your hosts will be happy to make recommendations.
Continental breakfasts and fully-guided excursions are available as an optional extra, to be booked in advance.

Magali and Nicolas have many years of experience in hotel barging and as natives to Burgundy, make excellent companions for your adventure.
