SAVOIR VIVRE

Luxury crewed French barge cruises in Burgundy
(Bourgogne) France

Amenities & Layout...

Savoir Vivre is a new and purpose-built barge which is a modern, stylish, and flexible design.  Not a square foot is wasted, although everything one needs is available.  The salon converts to a dining room in minutes, while the kitchen is "hidden" until needed!  The guest cabins, while not large, are sensible with lots of things done right, such as excellent storage, efficient reading lights, deluxe bedding and bathrobes hanging ready-to-use.  Outside there are two decks; again, designed for flexible use with a selection of recliners, chairs and pillows. Lounging is decidedly casual but comfortable.
