The oldest barge in our fleet, L’Art de Vivre was built in England during World War One and was used as a supply vessel in the Battle Of Somme. The barge is extremely traditional with original wood and brass that emphasizes the heritage of the boat and creates a warm and inviting interior. This stunning vintage boat accommodates 8 guests in 4 compact cabins all with beautiful en suite facilities.
