The Most Elegant Way to Travel Through France Is Now on a Barge - Architectural Digest
This summer, Belmond unveils two new vessels to its existing fleet of five, offering AD an exclusive first-look. Designed by Inge Moore of the London-based Muza Lab, the barges (with routes from Strasbourg to Arzviller, and La Ferte-Sous-Jouarre to the Champagne region) feel floral and elegant. Moore wanted a softness that was both casual yet true to the nostalgia that’s often present on quiet canals. While a barge is a flat-bottomed boat that was originally built for transporting freight, it has become a luxury vessel that ferries passengers who crave that slower, andante-like pace.
