Hotel Barge - The 'Luciole'

Available for whole-boat charter or individual bookings, the 14-passenger 'Luciole' allows our guests to explore in comfort the intimate up-country waterways of central France. From the air-conditioned saloon big picture windows allow uninterrupted views of the passing scene.  Refreshments are freely available at all times from our open bar.

Three double-bedded cabins are available, each of which can be converted into twins, together with three further twin-bedded and two single cabins on board. Each has its own private shower and toilet facilities. Individually-controlled air-conditioning is installed throughout.

The Luciole cruises with a ‘no smoking policy’ within the barge.  Smokers are kindly asked to respect fellow passenger’s wishes out on deck also.
