Cast
off and take a leisurely cruise at your own pace, along the canals
and rivers, among the most beautiful in Europe. Step back in time
and be awed by the natural surroundings, its colours, serenity and
beauty.
The
valleys and hillsides dotted with castles and vineyards, are a stunning
backdrop to the ancient bridges, locks, villages and waterfronts
which beckon you to explore. Cycle to the local market and wander
through the villages, taste and savour the local specialities -
all in your own time, anchor where and when you wish, with the freedom
to spontaneously pursue your interests and satisfy your sense of
curiosity.
You
will settle into your home on still waters before the first bend
in the canal. After a briefing from our staff you will glide off,
at ease, steering your boat. Share the fun of piloting
the penichette, with young and old alike. Otherwise swim, cycle
(for hire from our base), fish, read, sunbathe, explore, picnic,
nap, draw, meet fellow bargers or simply allow the French countryside
to embrace you.
In the mornings, ride or walk along the path to the local village
and buy fresh, warm bread and croissants for breakfast. In the afternoon
sit on deck in the dappled light and in the evenings take in the
spectacle of the starry night skies.
Your
comfort is guaranteed - a fully appointed kitchen, all linen supplied,
hot showers, ample storage space and navigational charts. Top up
the fresh water tanks at locks and villages. Have fun negotiating
the many locks, enjoy riding the changing water levels, chat to
the lock-keeper and perhaps buy fresh vegetables from his garden.
An
ideal holiday for friends, couples and families alike. Wind down
after frenetic touring - relax together, let the kids explore and
participate in the barge experience, knowing the decks are very
secure. The barge experience can be whatever you want it to be -
cosy and romantic, an adventure shared with friends or create family
memories.
Sail
and surrender to your surroundings.
