                  Barging adventure
 Have you ever though about discovering France 
                  on a barge, sailing along its picturesque canals? It’s 
                  a travel experience beyond the ordinary. Take off on a cruising 
                  expedition on the canals of France through magical places, ancient 
                  towns, castles, and vineyards.
  As you move down the inland waterways you will see how French 
                  people live their daily lives, and observe them tending their 
                  gardens and their ducks. We offer you four different itineraries 
                  on deluxe barges,
 
  which 
                  combine all the amenities of a luxury hotel and the friendly 
                  ambiance of a country inn. The barge very quickly becomes a 
                  familiar home away from home, with friendly staff, meals and 
                  no need to pack, repack and move from place to place, the barge 
                  travels in a slow and relaxing pace.

                  Mountains & Lakes
 Italy does seem to possess the gift of beauty, 
                  especially in the north, where jewel-blue lakes reach deep into 
                  the
  perpetually snow-capped Swiss Alps. The scenery has an almost 
                  timeless quality, not only with blue lakes and soaring mountains, 
                  but also with flowers, woodlands, historic hamlets, and traditional 
                  fishing villages. Embark on a journey, which traverses three 
                  legendary lakes within Italy and Switzerland, where splendors 
                  and contrasts delight in equal measure.
 
  Lake Lucerne, Lake Como, Lake Garda are definitely intriguing 
                  by their different characters and we guarantee a discovery tour 
                  in this unique region revealing an incomparable beauty.
