Barnes continues to develop its tailor-made service offering with Barnes Yachts
After art and wine, Barnes offers a range of new upscale and tailor-made services to accompany its customers in all their yachting-related projects by partnering with Althaus Luxury Yachting.
Since the beginning of the year, Barnes has developed new luxury services, designed to better support its clientele in non-real estate investments. The creation of Barnes Art Advisory, for the constitution and management of a heritage in art, Barnes Fine Wines, for the creation of an ideal winery, Barnes Vineyards Investment, to invest in vineyards, and now Barnes Yachts, allows Barnes to develop his expertise around the art of living. “Barnes is a luxury brand that strives for excellence for its clientele and strives to enhance the international influence of the French art de vivre. The development of its new departments corresponds to this desire, “says Thibault de Saint Vincent.
Barnes Yachts, managed by Eric Althaus, with more than 30 years of experience in this industry, is involved in all customer needs: acquisitions and sales of yachts, crewed seasonal rentals on all seas, new constructions, supported by a global management service.

While remaining faithful to the historical values and the fundamentals that have made Gault & Millau the propagators of Nouvelle Cuisine, we have major development projects in France and abroad, “explains Jacques Bally.
Jacques Bally, a graduate of the Ecole Supérieure des Affaires in Grenoble, was for a long time boss of the training and consulting branch of the Ducasse group.

A trusted third party appreciated by gastronomes, Gault & Millau’s mission is to support the customer in their culinary consumption experience, through numerous events, paper or digital guides and selections of products, raw or processed.
