In the heart of the LOIRE VALLEY

Accommodating up to six passengers, Hotel Barge Nymphea provides three comfortable cabins, all with en-suite facilities.

Her English speaking crew of Captain/Tour Guide and Chef are very knowledgeable about the history in this spectacular area of France.

The Valley of the Kings is as rich in history and legend as it is in beauty, and over the centuries  little has changed.

The River Loire and its main tributary the River Cher have transported passengers and cargo for more than 2000 years.

There is much to discover in the Loire Valley, from the fabulous French châteaux to the centuries old villages dotted along the river.

Wind your way through the narrow streets perhaps discovering hidden shops with hand-painted pottery or stumble across an open market. Meet a winemaker or a cheese maker and learn why his goats cheese is the most famous in France.
