It can accommodate 138 passengers, in 71 cabins spread over three decks. The size of each cabin is between 11 m2 and 14 m2, offering amenities and providing guests with all the comforts they need during their stay. The majority of the cabins are located on the upper deck and have large panoramic windows. Those on the middle and main decks have large windows. The decoration is stylish and its atmosphere both elegant and friendly, and in perfect harmony with its surroundings. The pastel shades refer to the region’s “douceur de vivre” and the green hillsides.
