A fabulous trip, beautiful countryside. We have been on 5 different barges trip in France and this one was the best at all level: french chef, french crew(not on the other barges). The guide are professional and not a crew member.

The quality of food is exceptional, i don’t find my words.

There are no better ways to discover the best spot of Provence, the weather is sunny all along the year (not in Burgundy or Loire)

The navigation is incredible compare with the Canal du Midi, we have sailed around 70 miles and passed throught huge locks. Just one negative point we have to leave Le Phénicien tomorrow and going back home, but I have decided to come back with all my family(4 generations) in 2018.

Many many thank to Bertrand the barge owner

We loved our trip down the Rhône River on Le Phénicien in Provence. Crew was amazing and also the service, cabins, guided tours. We had a real french experience, over our expectation. I will be your ambassador in my town, all the best.

“Dear Bertrand,

We ALL thoroughly enjoyed our stay on board Le Phenicien. Your crew are all equally superb and gave us excellent service throughout. The food was wonderful, the outings interesting and well thought through with the added benefit of the ability to respond to last minute requests which got us into a local bull running event in, I forget where, but it was all the better for being a small village event. We were also blessed with an interesting mix of passengers… from USA, Germany and UK We would very much like to repeat the week….Please pass on our thanks and good wishes to all your crew and we look forward to returning.”

“…thanks again. The cruise was spectacular and accommodated teenagers through to Grandparents.    the excursions went out of their way to do events (bull racing, petanque boules torunament) as well as sites. Interactive element was great. The barge route South Rhone was very relaxed. The cabin accommodations were above expectation.”

“The barge was great and pretty much what I expected. The crew was over-the-top incredible. They accommodated every need, attentive to individual requests and concerned with keeping the entire barge happy. I don’t know how they do it, but each and every day Sophie and Michele were full of energy and enthusiasm. Could not have been in better hands!                                                                                                The words can’t describe how incredible the meals and the wine selection were. The variety of foods was a sensory delight !Please pass along to the owners that their service and attention to detail was truly outstanding.”
