As the days grow longer and spring unfolds across the French countryside, the luxurious barge C’est La Vie is ready to set sail once again. With its elegant charm and impeccable service, the new season promises unforgettable experiences and a true taste of French art de vivre.
Life on board
There’s something uniquely peaceful about life on a barge. As C’est La Vie glides through the canals, watching the locks in action, breathing in the fresh countryside air, and strolling or cycling along quiet towpaths. It’s a chance to disconnect, unwind, and soak in the beauty of France from the comfort of a floating boutique hotel.
A Culinary Journey Onboard
Gastronomy is at the heart of life aboard C’est La Vie. Exquisite meals will be treated and prepared by a private chef, who crafts lunch and dinner using only the finest seasonal ingredients. Each dish is an invitation to savor the flavors of France, beautifully plated and bursting with local character.
And no French culinary experience would be complete without cheese: a curated selection of regional cheeses is served daily, allowing to discover the rich diversity and heritage of France’s most iconic specialty.
In the morning, a generous breakfast buffet awaits, offering a delightful spread to start the day.

Stroll through the picturesque town of Montargis, often called the “Venice of the Gâtinais” for its charming canals.
