ancient architecture, unspoiled nature, wine, food and
crafts.

Saloon
Roi Soleil has more to do with
luxury yachting than barging - hence the term 'River Yacht'.
Her lines and mahogany and brass trim are inspired by the
classic motor yachts of the 1920's while her interior brings
you the best of contemporary design and comfort. The stylish
saloon with its fireplace, bar and panoramic views through
no less than 20 windows, and the elegant dining area offer
you a level of comfort equivalent to that of luxury motor
yachts.
Exterior
Roi Soleil is more a Yacht than a Canal
Barge:
The separate forward sun deck, the aft teak deck with Spa
Pool, the outside dining area under the retractable canopy,
are all pure luxury yachting.
