Southern France

Canal du Midi, Provence

Camargue and Gascony

 

"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. Your hosts, Guillaume & Tracey de Perthuis, are well?known for their experience with luxury charter yachts world wide.
Not only does 'Roi Soleil' break new grounds through her high standard of amenities and services, but she is especially designed for the South and Southwest of France. The pictoresque region of the Southwest is accessible to very few ships due to the restricted dimensions of the historic Canal du Midi. 'Roi Soleil' is the first to take you there in the comfort of two-level accommodation, to provide the best views of this magnificent countryside, in optimal comfort. And when it comes to sampling the attractions the region has to offer, we will escort you in our air conditioned vehicle.
We will help you to discover France as only French natives can, and our Anglo-Saxon background will make you feel totally at home. For a complete Epicurean experience, discover the creative gastronomy prepared by your onboard gourmet chef.
While you leisurely soak up the Mediterranean ambience in the lingering, golden sunsets, savouring the regional wines and innovative gourmet cuisine aboard 'Roi Soleil', you will gain a rare insight into the very heart and soul of France - the luxurious way.

 


 

AMENITIES


'Roi Soleil', with up to 6 guests and her generous layout and ameneties, offers you a level of comfort equivalent to that of luxury motor yachts.
The separate forward sun deck and the aft teak deck with built in jacuzzi and outside dining area under the shade of the retractable canopy, are pure yachting. The full-length, light and airy saloon, with separate stairway, leads to the three spacious staterooms with twin or queen sized beds and private ensuite bathrooms, all with opening windows.
Amongst the many creature comforts onboard, you will enjoy full air conditioning throughout; a 'Sundance' Spa under the stars; fireplace; high quality sound system and video; thermostatically controlled showers and heated towel racks; bicycles for the adventurous and a spacious air conditioned vehicle for excursions. And to call your home - cellular telephone and e-mail access.
The interior is stylish and contemporary, with natural colours, polished oak floors, mahogany joinery and an abundance of natural light exuding serenity. Large tinted windows offer panoramic views of the Midi, which are reflected in the interior by Provençale touches such as the enamelled lava dining table and bar, hand-made Provençale tiles, lava in the bathrooms, and pastels in the cabins.
