Chambre d'hôtes – Péniche Farniente

Presentation

Sleep on the water in the Gard: book your vacation aboard the Farniente barge in Bellegarde!
Unusual bed and breakfast accommodation in Provence, at the gateway to the Camargue.

A timeless break on the Péniche Farniente
Looking to unwind, enjoy nature, and relax? La Péniche Farniente welcomes you for a relaxing stay with family, friends, or a romantic getaway in a unique and restorative setting.

Moored on the Rhône canal, this charming barge offers three bedrooms, air-conditioned or heated depending on the season, each with its own private bathroom and toilet. A small swimming pool is available for a refreshing dip, and sun loungers are provided for relaxing with a book.
A set menu dinner is available upon prior reservation and at an additional cost.
The peaceful, green setting invites you to relax and let go.

A few steps from the barge, in a caravan, a space dedicated to treatments also awaits you on board: treat yourself to a massage, by reservation (extra charge via Terre d'Argence Réservation – “Luma Shiatsu” service).

Ideally located between Arles and Nîmes, the barge is a perfect starting point for exploring the traditions and landscapes of the Camargue: escapades to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, discovery of Baux-de-Provence, the troglodyte abbey, the Daudet mill, the arenas, local festivals, or even bike rides on the ViaRhôna and hikes in the vineyards.

An address designed for cyclists
Awarded the "Accueil Vélo" label, the Péniche Farniente is an ideal stop for cyclists. Bicycles are stored securely in a locked room located directly opposite.
And for a complete stay: table d'hôtes, energy breakfast and massages are available as options.
