Good Living & Healthy Eating

Lunch on board Le Papillon
The chef on Le Paillon holds one of the prized cooking jobs on the French waterways.
With her unlimited budget she is able to accommodate your every need.
To ensure the best tasting food possible, she buys nearly all of her ingredients from local farmers markets, fishmongers, cheese shops, butchers and green-grocers, choosing ‘fairtrade’ and organic whenever available. Naturally you are welcome to accompany her on any of these marketing trips and help choose from the wealth of fresh seasonal produce.
We have an open bar on Le Papillon and will always endeavour to stock passengers’ favourite brands. The majority of our wines are ‘real finds’ from the smaller vineyards of Burgundy – delicious for drinking now! Many of these wines can be shipped directly to your front door; please visit our links page for details. On board we serve Delamott champagne.
