Belmond Afloat in France

Belmond Afloat in France might be the most luxurious way to see France, especially if you gather up a group of friends and commission the entire barge. Opt for the Fleur de Lys for a trio of cabins decked out in four-poster beds and rich Indian fabrics, where during the day guests watch the French countryside glide by as they soak in a heated rooftop pool and in the evening feast on a five-course meal and explore the region’s varietals through tutored tastings. Seven-day journeys take routes through areas including Provence, Burgundy, Carcassonne and Franche-Comté.
