Laura Lynch spent a week aboard the luxury hotel barge Finesse cruising the Canal du Midi. Read about her experience below:

On board the barge are a handful of crew members who will help make your journey an effortless one, and while the options for barge cruises are vast, a luxury, all-inclusive barge cruise is definitely way to go. There are a variety of different canal cruises, but why settle for anything less than the very best! A luxury, all-inclusive cruise aboard the Finesse luxury barge includes all meals and drinks. Each meal is a gourmet affair, with multiple courses prepared by the chef, all expertly paired with wines of the region.
