Nymphea

Classic yacht décor amidst picturesque Breton villages

Hotel Barge Nymphea

Nymphea’s Dutch design with its shallow draft makes her the ideal vessel for navigating the beautiful canals and rivers of Brittany. Very few other vessels are able to cruise these peaceful and picturesque waterways.

Her traditional interior, reminiscent of a classic yacht, features a warm décor of rich varnished hardwoods, stained glass and shining brass. The lovely furnished saloon and dining area have a welcoming country house atmosphere, and there is an additional upper saloon with seating for relaxing. Nymphea has three compact but comfortable cabins, each with twin beds, all with air conditioning and en suite facilities.

Outside, the sun deck provides the perfect vantage point from which to admire the next charming village, historic château, or stunning stretch of Breton countryside as it slowly comes into view. Guests may also explore the towpaths and surrounding landscape by bicycle, with six bicycles available for use.

Nymphea’s crew, including the Captain/Tour Leader and Master Chef, are highly knowledgeable about the history, culture, and cuisine of Brittany, and will ensure your journey along the region’s canals and rivers is a truly memorable experience.
