Passengers Say
Incredible barge trip. The Nivernais was beautiful. Captain was great. Food, wines and cheeses superb. Greene
Loved the barge and really enjoyed all aspects of the trip! Gray
Our experience of the barge was indescribable and far exceeded our expectations. This experience was not by chance but due to the commitment and dedication of the crew. Gordon, Michelle, Sebastian and Jane, as a team, made every effort to attend to our every need and make this a memorable event - a goal they did achieve. Each crewmember had a significant role in the overall process and each crewmember did an incredible job. The barge navigation, the cuisine and the wine pairing, the day trips, the table decor, every detail was executed with fine precision. We feel privileged to have been guests on the L'Art de Vivre and we look forward to another barge experience. Our compliments to the crew for a perfect performance. Lovelands
