Péniche Aurora

Guest barge near Fontainebleau

Presentation Practical information
Meeting with the Bonne Amie (the former name of the Péniche Auroraツ) of Robert de Niro at the gates of Burgundy and Champagne.

What do the famous billionaire David Rockefeller, astronaut Buzz Aldrin, and superstar Robert De Niro have in common? All three treated themselves to a getaway in Seine-et-Marne aboard the barge La Bonne Amie.
Moored 5 minutes from Fontainebleau in the charming village of Samois-sur-Seine, this guest barge embodies all the hallmarks of bourgeois homes.
Elegant furniture, paintings, beautiful tableware, household linens, flowers, a fireplace, and even a jacuzzi on the deck. On request, you can also be taken cruising on the Seine (minimum 8 people). La Bonne Amie is also a good cook; it knows how to host at its table if this intimate atmosphere whets your appetite.

Between the forest and the Seine, Samois-sur-Seine is one of the most beautiful villages in Ile de France. We love to stroll through its typical 18th and 19th-century town center, wander to discover the Belle Époque flowered villas, and other inhabited barges along the Seine.
At the gates of Burgundy and Champagne, a multitude of exceptional places deserve to extend your charming stay. Castles of Fontainebleau, Vaux Le Vicomte, Blandy-les-Tours, painters' villages like Barbizon, Moret-sur-Loing, or Bourron-Marlotte, and with children, the medieval town of Provins is perfect.

A date to remember? The Django Reinhardt Festival, named after the famous gypsy guitarist who lived in the village at the beginning of the 20th century, is held on the Ile du Berceau in Samois-sur-Seine. The 2015 edition will take place from Wednesday, June 24, 2015, to Sunday, June 28.
