Abercrombie & Kent offers the Alouette, an intimate luxury canal barge crafted for an exceptionally personal cruising experience. Hosting just four guests in two beautifully appointed en suite cabins, it offers the perfect blend of privacy and comfort. Stretching 100 feet, the Alouette features inviting social spaces—from a cozy salon ideal for relaxing with a glass of regional wine to a generous sun deck designed for leisurely afternoons in the open air.
As you glide through tranquil canals, each day brings the pleasures of gourmet cuisine, expertly paired local wines, and ever-changing views of the French countryside. Thoughtfully curated shore excursions—by foot or bicycle—allow you to explore charming villages, historic sites, and hidden gems at a relaxed pace. A journey aboard the Alouette is the essence of slow, immersive travel, elevated by Abercrombie & Kent’s signature service.
