La Belle Epoque Barge
 
La Belle Époque has been 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 sun deck is large with solid, high quality chairs and loungers plus a luxurious spa pool. There is also a sauna below deck. The lounge and the dining room are wood paneled and cabins are a good size. Each cabin’s private bathroom is in light grey marble, and the two slightly larger suites each have a full length bath tub (other cabins have a shower). The recently installed single cabin or ‘chart room’ 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 cruise in tandem with her sister ship L’Art de Vivre (which takes 8 guests), thus accommodating charter groups of up to 20 passengers.
