Barge Cruise Reviews for L’Impressionniste in southern Burgundy, France

June 20th, 2013

Gosh, I love my job when I receive glowing reports from clients who return from their barge cruises.

The 12 passenger deluxe barge, L’Impressionniste, continues to get rave reviews for its cruise through the Valley of the Ouche in Southern Burgundy. Take a look at these unedited reviews:

“I’m sure no one ever celebrated a 55th wedding anniversary in a more beautiful, caring, environment. The staff became a part of “our family” for the week, and the sun smiled happily down on all our activities.”

“We returned from Paris yesterday and I wanted to send along a big “thank you” for a truly wonderful barge cruise.

I’m not sure where to begin — everything was top notch. The food was fabulous — a feast for the eyes and the appetite. The wine was excellent — well-paired with the food and spectacular. The crew was so friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating.  Our fellow passengers were all delightful and we truly enjoyed our time with them. Our conversations were so lively and engaging that sometimes dinner lasted for 3 – 4 hours! The scenery, the boat, the excursions, and our accommodations on the boat all exceeded our expectations.  This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The only slight downside was that we were having so much fun that we did not leave the cruise as well-rested as we anticipated — but even that is good! All in all, it was a fabulous trip. Thanks again for all of your help in this.  Even though I said this was a once-in-a-lifetime trip, I hope we can do another barge cruise at some point in the future.” Nancy G.

“Beth – we just got back to the Westminster and have had a joyous barge trip! The crew and passengers were outstanding. Fine food, fine wine, fine service and fine people. We couldn’t have asked for better…oops! Weather could have been better. We had cold and rain but it didn’t slow anyone down. Fantastic time! Thank you!” J and D

“Barging through the Burgundy valley has always been on my bucket list. Thanks to all involved, from Beth who helped us with our reservations to the barge crew for making the experience a wonderful and memorable one for me and my wife.” Ken N.

“The service was excellent. I swear they washed the windows and port holes daily. When we asked for a napkin folding demo, they jumped at the opportunity and were always accommodating to each passenger’s needs. Unbelievably beautiful French countryside and smaller towns/winery visited.” Alice N.

“The barge cruise and vacation were absolutely superb, wine and food were on a par with a 5 star hotel and so was the Hotel Westminster. We met wonderful people and we are going to get together with two couples in July who live nearby! As a conclusion, everything was super and all the connections worked smoothly. Thank you so much for organizing this trip for us !” P and P
