CANAL BOATING HOLIDAY IN FRANCE FAQs
PAGE 1 - BASIC QUESTIONS

If you want a canal boat holiday, would like to pilot the boat yourself, and want to know where to start, try :-

Based in the South of France, we represent 3 of the best boat operators you will find in the whole of France.

We’ve been on these boats and we know the people who run the fleets. Using us to advise you costs you nothing but hopefully helps a lot.

Our pricing tables are usually accurate but we will always tell you if there's a cheaper price at the moment when you’re ready to make a booking.

You pay the boat owners direct, so you know you'll always get the best price. I’m happy to guarantee that.

I also guarantee that we’ll advise you honestly on the basis of “this is what we would do if we had your needs and preferences” and we'll give other advice as well!

We'll reply (normally within a few hours) and answer any questions you have.

We keep your contact information PRIVATE. We only use it to help you with your enquiry and for the boat operator IF you make a booking. We do NOT keep your information on a database and you will NOT get marketing emails from us!

We'll tell you availability and give you the latest best price from the boat owners. You can contact us here.

This depends on which boats you like, where they're based, and what's available when you decide to make a booking.

It also depends a little on how you are arriving in this region. The best thing is to follow the advice in Sara's Easy Guide to Choosing Your French Boat Holiday and we can then help you. We'll tell you which of your preferred boats are available and where they start from.

We'll also tell you the nearest airports, train stations, or motorways, or you can look at our Travel Page which has lots of information if you read down the page.

You can also look at the maps showing our 18 bases for French boat charter and hire :-

We can provide guidance on local transfers from airports and train stations. There are a large number of airports and train stations within 2 hours of the canals and rivers.

For detailed questions about the self-drive boats and all aspects of your possible cruise, please see our next page called "Detailed Questions About Your French Boating Holiday".

FINALLY, many of our clients come from long distance and need some extra help. We're used to this! Our advice is free if it relates to questions about the boating vacation and local transfers. If you would like more, we have a "Concierge Service" which helps you throughout your vacation.
