Meet Me in Southern Burgundy on the Barge Rendez-Vous…
Meet me on the Rendez-Vous…
Flawlessly operated by a small team of seasoned professionals, the Deluxe class Rendez-Vous welcomes up to four guests to a convivial cruise on France’s canals.
With an inviting salon, an open Chef’s galley, and a spacious deck, the Rendez-Vous is an extraordinary venue for private groups especially interested in gourmet experiences and gracious entertaining.
The Barge Ladies are delighted to present the Rendez-Vous as one of our favorite floating French house parties in Southern Burgundy.

THE BEST TRAVEL WEEK OF OUR LIVES
Our group’s cruise on the Rendez-Vous was the best travel week of our lives!
The service was fantastic and we felt as if the crew were old friends by the end of the week.
Southern Burgundy is really beautiful. We loved touring the old chateaux and seeing the preserved cathedrals with our own private guide.
TWO CABINS FOR OUR GROUP OF FOUR
The two cabins, which were recently redone, were nicely appointed, and perfect for our group of four.
From the ample amounts of storage to the king sized beds, the cabins were one of the best parts of the cruise.
The bathrooms were roomier than expected, and there was great water pressure too.
5-STAR DINING EVERY NIGHT
The food…where to begin? We felt like we were dining in a five star restaurant every night.
Chef Erelle went our her way to make sure every meal was perfect.
The crew also explained what was in each dish and how it was prepared, along with why certain recipes were paired with certain wines.
CRUSING AND CANALS
Whether our group was relaxing on the deck or watching the scenery slip by from the salon, the daily cruising was wonderful. No matter where we were onboard we always had a full glass!
Captain Arnault’s extensive knowledge of local history along the canal made each day’s cruise really come to life.
Of course, going through the many locks along the Canal de Bourgogne was fantastic too.
THE PERFECT FIT FOR US
The Barge Ladies were very helpful, suggesting the Rendez-Vous as the perfect fit for us and offering wonderful service right up until boarding.
The cruise itself could not have been improved upon in our opinion!
We enjoyed it so much and recommended it so highly that two of our kids and their spouses are now considering going in August. — Beth L.
