The 12-passenger Savoir Faire (formerly "Etoile de Champagne") was built in 1932 as a Belgian transport barge. Converted into a hotel barge in 1979 she was substantially refurbished for the beginning of the 2005 season. Her six staterooms offer luxurious accommodation for 12 passengers who are attentively catered for by 6 English-speaking crew. The salon, dining area, and bar are finished in mahogany, teak and brass, decorated with antiques and paintings. Two spacious decks offer magnificent views of the countryside.
