In addition to the superb meals prepared onboard from fresh local ingredients by accomplished chefs, Go Barging guests will enjoy a gourmet meal at Michelin-rated Relais & Chateaux restaurants as part of their cruise itinerary through the French countryside. The added feature makes the selected cruises even more enticing for lovers of fine French cuisine. Located at the Michelin-starred Relais & Chateaux hotels L'Espérance, Abbaye de la Bussiere, and Auberge Les Templiers, each of the featured restaurants boasts world-class chefs whose creations reflect the best of the local and regional produce and game. Lunch or dinner at L'Esperance is included on Go Barging's Belle Epoque cruises of Burgundy; passengers on L'Impressionniste cruises through Burgundy will dine at the Abbaye de la Bussiere; and the restaurant at the Auberge Les Templiers is the venue for cruises on La Renaissance, whose itinerary traverses Western Burgundy and the Upper Loire regions. As an added treat, Go Barging's guests will have an opportunity to meet the chef at the respective restaurants, and when possible, they will accompany the chef on a tour of the kitchen. Belle Epoque, L'Impressionniste, and La Renaissance are elegantly appointed, air-conditioned luxury barges with spacious suites and private bath. All three barges also have lounge areas above and below deck for relaxing, conversation, and taking in the magnificent scenery of the French countryside.
