Attention to detail characterizes every aspect of Savannah, owned and operated by Captain Adrien Bramoulle. Growing up in South Africa, he developed various interests leading to careers in wildlife conservation and luxury hospitality; he now brings this international background to the canals of France. A traditional barge, the vessel’s classic design is enhanced with lavish use of mahogany woodwork and hand painted ceramic tile in the bathrooms. The airy cabins are enlivened by the boat’s original brass portholes, as well as by paintings of Canal du Midi vignettes created by a local artist. Guests linger on the comfortable deck to watch the scenery gently drift by, and more active passengers are encouraged to explore further on the towpath by bicycle or on foot.
