    Belle Epoque Barge
    La Belle Époque was designed and furbished with the height of elegance and comfort in mind. Her handsomely furnished open plan lounge, bar area and dining room allow plenty of space for guests to spread out or cool down if it’s too hot on deck. The lounge and the dining room are wood panelled, with a large, splendid bar area dominating one side of the saloon. The sun deck is large with solid, high quality chairs and loungers plus a luxurious spa pool. Cabins are a good size and the private en suite bathrooms are furbished in light grey marble. The two slightly larger suites each have a full length bath tub, whilst the other cabins have a shower. The recently installed single cabin for a 13th passenger enables groups of 12 travelling with their Tour Guide to be accommodated. On this cruise, one gastonomic dinner will be taken ashore.
    Belle Epoque can also cruise in tandem with her sister ship L’Art de Vivre (which takes 8 guests), thus accommodating charter groups of up to 20 passengers. This cruise route is exceptionally good for walking or cycling cruises due to the excellent tow path that follows the route for most of the itinerary.
