Anyone been on them, and in particular the one on the Rhone From Arles to Chalon-sur-Saône?

Looking for this in October, with a few days in Paris prior

I get their mailings. They look nice, but I think if I were spending time in wine country, I ight rather spend more time at wineries than on a boat. It does look like a relaxing vacation. If you go, I'd love to hear your opinions.


Just one more sip.

I've seen their mailings as well. I think I like the idea of a barge cruise in France instead. The barges hold maybe 20 people, tops, and travel at about 3 mph. You can literally step off a barge (some of the canals are just wide enough to fit the barge) with a bike, go have lunch in some tiny French village, and then bike back to the barge.
