Imagine gliding through the serene country waterways of France, where each bend of the river reveals another picturesque vista—this is the enchanting world of Belmond Barges. Often overshadowed by their larger river cruise cousins, these intimate vessels (with space from 4-12 passengers) offer a uniquely luxurious experience that is as much about the journey as the destinations, whether it is in Champagne, Burgundy or France’s southern regions.
