Owned and operated by Canal & Company, the Litote, Lorraine and Anacoluthe have cruised in their respective regions for a generation and have all earned a reputation for excellence. Comfortable accommodations, superior guides and the finest crews ensure that each journey meets the highest standards.

Chefs aboard take their work very seriously, and have been trained at some of the finest culinary institutions in France, using the freshest local produce in each region. Complimentary wines are an important ingredient in any trip through France, and you will enjoy nearly two dozen different vintages during your cruise, all served in a relaxed, informal dining atmosphere.

All these barges are very comfortable, fully air-conditioned and tastefully decorated with a mix of woods, brass and soft fabrics. Well-appointed public areas include a dining room, spacious salon, cozy bar area and sun deck. All cabins have portholes, private facilities with shower and ample storage. Towpaths along the canals afford passengers the option to walk or cycle as the barge cruises along at four miles per hour. Or, stay aboard and watch the French countryside slip silently by.
