Alouette, A Belmond Boat, Bordeaux

With just two cabins for four guests, Alouette is the most intimate boat in the Les Bateaux Belmond fleet. Designed around life on the top deck, the boat’s open-air dining table and generous loungers create a relaxed setting for long lunches, quiet afternoons and evenings spent watching the landscape drift by.

Cruising from Bordeaux to Agen, Alouette travels through the heart of southwest France, where seemingly endless vineyards give way to quiet villages, historic estates and the gentle pace of the French countryside.

Days ashore offer a closer connection to the region, from private visits to Château Pavie and Château d’Yquem to cycling along the Canal de Garonne. Returning to the boat, the pace slows once more, with each day offering a chance to experience this corner of France at its most unhurried.

Chef Dominique Crenn returns to Les Bateaux Belmond.

For her second year as culinary curator, Chef Crenn brings a new menu inspired by the place where her own culinary story began: the family table. Rooted in her philosophy of “poetic culinaria”, each dish tells a story through refined family recipes, including terrine of lobster with kari gosse, raviole with mushroom consommé, poulet à la Bretonne with smoked crème fraiche, and a traditional fondant baulois from Crenn’s hometown of Brittany.
