    Impressionniste Barge

    The 13 passenger L`Impressionniste is being constantly refurbished and maintained to accommodate six guests in perfect comfort in six pretty suites, each with private bathroom. The barge interior is light and airy with attractive prints, fabrics and wall coverings reflecting the art movement after which she is named. Her spacious saloon has panoramic windows allowing wonderful views of the gently gliding countryside to be savoured at all times, even when inside the barge. The new 2009 Burgundy cruise route offers plenty of opportunity to cycle and walk into nearby villages and the special little single cabin welcomes a 13th passenger thus permitting groups of 12 travelling with their Tour Guide to be accommodated. L’Impressioniste can also cruise in tandem with her sister ship La Belle Epoque (taking 12 guests, and subject to availability), thus accommodating charter groups of up to 26 passengers.
