L'Impressionniste

NEED TO KNOW

  • The saloon and dining room have comfortable sofas, books and music, and an always open, inclusive bar
  • A heated sunken spa pool is located on the spacious sun deck
  • Fabulous cuisine is provided by the barge's own Master Chef from sumptuous breakfast to a delicious buffet or picnic ending in a four or five course dinner each evening

THE VESSEL
The 13 passenger L'Impressionniste began life as a cargo barge in Holland, before being transformed into the powerful canal and river cruiser she is today. She has a light and airy interior reminiscent of the turn of the century era and is decorated with a selection of prints, fabrics and wall colourings.

Crewed by a knowledgeable Captain, Master Chef and crew of three, she travels through Burgundy - visiting Dijon, famed for its mustard, and Ducal Palace. Wine connoisseurs will delight in visits on the Route des Grands Crus and gastronomes will enjoy lunch at the Michelin-starred restaurant at Abbaye de la Bussiere.

We recommendTake to the bicycles on board and explore hidden routes of France.
