Hotel Barge L’Impressionniste
A supremely refined vessel, L’Impressionniste offers an onboard ambience that combines traditional and modern French influences to ensure that you cruise in style and comfort.
Her light and airy interior features picture windows and prints reminiscent of the era after which she has been named. In the spacious saloon with its rich-coloured teak flooring and soft lighting, there are balloon-backed dining chairs and comfortable leather sofas that complete the effect.
The cabins, each one bearing the name of a renowned Impressionist painter, offer a choice of accommodation in two junior suites or four staterooms, complemented by modern en-suite shower rooms. Twin or double bed configurations are also available.
L’Impressionniste glides gently through the picturesque Ouche Valley in Southern Burgundy through locks with their charming lock houses. You will see medieval villages perched on hilltops and have the opportunity to discover a region famed for its history and viticulture, with visits to such places as Beaune, the regions ‘wine capital’, and the elegant city of Dijon.
NOTE:
From early May 2026, for the remainder of the 2026 season, due to engineering work on her usual itinerary, L’Impressionniste will cruise on the Canal du Centre, approximately 25 miles to the south. Most of L’Impressionniste’s usual excursions will still be offered, including Dijon, Clos de Vougeot, and Beaune.
While the route is slightly different, guests can still enjoy the charm, scenery, and cultural experiences that make a Burgundy barge cruise so special. The Canal du Centre offers equally enchanting landscapes, historic villages, and opportunities to explore Burgundy’s renowned wine and gastronomy, ensuring a memorable and authentic experience.
