Jane Nee; October 2017Dear Emma,
I am now back home; but, wishing I was still in France on "L'Art de Vivre". The trip was fabulous, from start to finish. The crew took such good care of us; the food, the service, the fun---it was incredible. I will be doing this again. Thank you, so much, for your assistance in making this possible.
Denis Ives; June 2017The boat was generally as expected. By chance, we had only 4 passengers not 8, and that gave an unexpected feeling of space and comfort. In addition the service and work of the crew was great.
Boat rate = 7/10
Cruiseappreciate = The cruise from Chevroches to Auxerre on the Nivernais Canal went from calm and bucolic to concluding at a bigger town (Auxerre). That felt right. Interesting moorings and visits.I rate Hotels Afloat an 8 out of 10: Attention to detail though would like more info about tours and visits on the site...
We may book again, depending upon locations, routes and costs.
A cruise aboard this stately ship will surely leave you with a taste for the finer side of life, which is exactly what L'Art de Vivre personifies.
The barge comprises four suites which can be configured as twins or doubles, each with modern en-suite facilities.
You may choose to relax by using our bikes or by lounging on the sun deck or in the Jacuzzi. You may even take a hot air balloon flight to view the surrounding area (an optional extra on this cruise).
L'Art de Vivre has quite a history! The barge was originally built in England during WWI to act as a supply vessel to allied troops of the Somme.
