Hotel Barge Clair de Lune
Experience the good life gliding through the heart of France

Introduced in summer 2013 offering fresh itineraries and levels of indulgence, this vessel has a stylish dining salon and sun deck with spa pool. The six-passenger hotel barge navigates the Canal du Midi in southern France between Le Somail and the fortified city of Carcassonne, perhaps the most scenic waterway in France, where poplars march across landscapes resembling medieval tableaux. When not savouring gourmet food prepared by the onboard chef, there are private wine tastings in renowned châteaux.
