Dominique Abafourd opened the way by settling on her barge El Kantara because she loved water. She proposes only two rooms, the Bargemen room in varnished mahogany where the tiller has still pride of place and with indepedent entrance and toilets and the Skipper suite which is very large for a room on a barge. Between both, a small swimming pool.

Close by and still on the Saône, the Bateau Fréjus welcomes lovers of peaceful nights who fall asleep under the influence of the very light swing of the boat. Just a little farther, the Bateau Friponne will seduce lovers of terraced gardens and tropical greenhouses.

On the Rhône this time and along its famous Banks (with its two rivers, Lyon has space to welcome boats…), the Barnum barge offers very highly class services and a covered terrace which allows the enjoyment of the view of Lyon all year round.

But all those who wish to enjoy a moving boat, will prefer the privatized yacht solution. Installed in the new district of Confluence, Lyon Yachts propose multiple formulae on water or alongside the quay with high class services.

Waterways are becoming more and more successful and everyone succumbs to the charm of the ballet of boats crossing the rivers. As a result, the formula has an incredible success.
