Explore The French Waterways, Take a Private Barge Cruise

The Randle - Four Passenger Private Charter Barge, Go Your Own Way.

Enjoy a relaxing private French barge cruise along the picturesque canals and rivers of Burgundy, with the accent on luxury, wellness, and tranquillity. Cruise the beautiful Canal du Nivernais or the scenic River Yonne aboard The Randle, your private home afloat in the heart of France.

Dine aboard, at Michelin châteaux, and gourmet restaurants along our route; private vineyard tours, château visits, and cultural excursions included.

Cycle through canal-side villages, take a round of golf, or simply unwind on deck with a glass of premier cru.

Embark at Quai de la Marine in Auxerre and drift south along the Canal du Nivernais, part canal, part river, through a wooded valley of limestone cliffs, lock-keepers’ cottages and villages untouched by time. Moor beneath the cliffs of Le Saussois and wander the medieval streets of Clamecy. Private excursions take you to Vézelay’s hilltop basilica, the vineyards of Chablis and medieval Noyers.

The Randle is yours alone: just you, your friends or family, hosted by her owner and captain, with a private chef and guide. A private charter is the perfect way to discover France afloat. Start planning your voyage now.
