Private hire · Private events
Celebrate your event on board, on the Rhône
Wedding, wedding reception, birthday, hen or stag party, family reunion: hire one of our three boats, at the foot of the Palace of the Popes and the Pont d’Avignon.
A reception venue that sails
Your guests come aboard, Avignon glides by
For a dinner or an evening, the Rhône becomes your reception room. The ramparts, the Palace of the Popes and the Pont Saint-Bénézet glide past the picture windows, then the party continues on the sun deck.
Our chef and his team cook local, seasonal produce on board; our crew takes care of everything, from the welcome at the landing stage to the last glass.
The Mireio was christened on 14 May 1986 by Mireille Mathieu. Since then, she has hosted weddings, birthdays and family celebrations on the Rhône.
For which occasions?
Every celebration has its place on board

A seated dinner facing the ramparts, then dancing on deck.
