France revolves around exquisite food and fine wines - whilst other nations eat to live, France lives to eat!

Every cruise on board Saroche is a gourmet experience. Whilst the majority of other passenger barges have a set menu each evening, Saroche offers a choice of dishes each evening on its 5- course menu. The chef will discuss your personal preferences with you and tailor the week's menus to reflect these. We also cater for special dietary needs. Buffet lunch spreads include mouthwatering home made quiches, patés and terrines, cold cuts and crisp salads - rounded off with dessert or a selection of cheeses and all accompanied by excellent wines. Saroche carries a 'cellar' of some 200 bottles of wine and champagne - specially selected fine wines from Burgundy and Bordeaux are complimented with prize-winning
vintages from lesser known regions, vineyards and châteaux. Many of these wines are virtually unknown outside their own region of production, however their excellence will speak for itself. Guests are invited to visit the "cave" and select their own wines each evening, although crew are always enthusiastic to give assistance in the choice and to recommend wines to accompany the menu selections. During your cruise and for the Captain's farewell dinner guests are invited to dine on shore to sample the regional cuisine and ambiance at specially selected country auberges and local Michelin rated restaurants.
