Description

The ship sails along the River Seine with a style that ranges from 1920s Paris to the 1960s, featuring antique furniture, artworks, but also some touches of modernity. The 4 passenger decks are named after important French writers; the heart of the ship is the Balzac deck, where we find both the Reception and the Pigalle restaurant, offering international and French cuisine. On the Victor Hugo deck, we find the Club Esprit, the onboard Spa, the fitness center, as well as the 8 suites of 24 square meters and the 2 Grand Suites of 38 square meters with dedicated butler service and high-class treatment.
In the onboard bar, Claude, cozy sofas invite the guest to enjoy one of the many wines specially chosen by the onboard sommelier, accompanied by live music; this environment also transforms into a cinema and is the perfect place to watch one of the many French films. On the Montmatre sundeck, we find ample space for sun loungers and tables, admiring the beautiful panorama slowly passing by.
