Michel & Darlene – Port Coquitlam / Canada

Our voyage on La Vie en Rose was a relaxing week filled with unique experiences. Starting from the warm welcome you treated us like longtime friends and shared your love for this beautiful region. You chose great restaurants for lunch, authentic cuisine. We were glad to have the bikes; walks, and petanque to work it off ! What wonderful breakfasts, too ! Highlights were goats, tasting with Agnes+admiring your skills in the locks. « Quels bons souvenirs ! »

Bill & Russi – Beaufort, South Carolina – USA

There are words to try to describe our week on La Vie en Rose… Génial !, magical, incredible, marvelous…but there are no words in English or French that can truly describe this awesome experience ! Alex, Sophia, Albert ad Neil, and the charm of the Péniche itself created a week that we will never forget, and talk about often for years to come ! All expectations were exceeded as we cruise down the Canal du Centre.

We will be back, so « à la prochaine » !

This trip was my first trip to France. I could not have had a better experience. This has been my best vacation that I have never had anywhere.The crew on this barge has made it unforgettable. The food, the excursions have been the best anyone could have asked for and I will recommend this to all my friends and I also will take this trip again. You will never find a better group of people and a better vacation.

Els & Walter – Colorado USA

Words cannot adequately describe the wonderful week we had aboard La Vie en Rose.

From the first to the last day we were treated like royalty and I can honestly say I have never had better meals in one week. The cooking was outstanding, the wines superb, the staff very attentive and for those trying to decide which barge cruise to take… La Vie en Rose is IT.

Thank you everyone, you have made this week and unforgettable one!
