Belmond Afloat Pivoine & Lilas, France

Organic Kinship

Inspired by the concept of biophilia—the innate human desire for connection with nature and other life forms—the Pivoine and Lilas barges breathe natural life, buoyant with the water that keeps them afloat and the energy that surrounds them.

Intricate magic

Each of the designs manifests the respective location through which it meanders: subtleties in the decor and the warm tones of the Pivoine drawing inspiration from the peonies of the Champagne region and, of course, its wine; and the rustic, colourful craftsmanship of the Alsace reflected in the laidback luxury of Lilas.

This intense, organic kinship underpins the interior concept: a coalescence of French oak, tactile linens, honey-soaked accents, and compelling geometric patterns that nod to the intricate magic of our ecosystem.
