Joining the Barging in Provence wish list means you will receive all things to inspire a journey to the France for when restrictions are lifted. We encourage you to join the list and to keep dreaming about travel!

Cruising by barge through the rivers and canals of southern France - can there be a more relaxing holiday experience?  Each morning will be spent cruising along the canals and waterways as we sail leisurely between Sète and Arles. The small and intimate environment of our private barge along with a dedicated crew provide the perfect setting for a relaxing vacation. Enjoy first-class French cuisine while watching the gorgeous landscape pass by. After spending three wonderful nights in Barcelona, we transfer to Sète to embark on our chartered barge, specially designed for this leisurely adventure as we cruise along historic inland waterways. All of our excursions have been included; no need to worry about what to do or where to go. In fact, virtually everything is included: sightseeing, meals, service charges, taxes, and all tipping, leaving you free to enjoy every minute of  our canal cruise. Finally we end our journey with three nights in Lyon. Space on this cruise is extremely limited. Maximum group size will be 22. Singles are on request.
