Hotel Barge Luciole

Welcome

Hotel barge Luciole cruises the Nivernais Canal, the most beautiful of French waterways. Round every bend the vista changes, as the waterway weaves through the heart of Burgundy’s stunning scenery.

We began in 1976 and our experience is evident from the attention to detail. The crew of six maintain the warm yet professional atmosphere.

The barge accommodates twelve passengers in eight en-suite cabins, with an attractive saloon and inviting sundeck. Guests experience the gastronomy of France with fine regional wines and delicious gourmet meals.

The itinerary combines cruising with daily excursions in the barge’s private bus, to visit famous vineyards for wine tasting, Medieval towns, historic châteaux and colorful markets.

While the Luciole cruises guests can soak up the sun on deck or stroll down the towpath, we stop in locks on average each mile. We also have bicycles to explore nearby villages.
