CLIENT REVIEWS

"Having been on many package holidays, my daughter and I fancied something a bit different and our week on this barge was certainly that!

We flew into Carcassonne airport at the start of the summer holidays and had a short taxi ride to where the boat was moored. After a tour of the boat (which has everything you need, 2 double bedrooms, fitted kitchen, ensuite shower etc), we took the bikes provided and went for a short ride up the canal to a stream, where we had great fun, splashing, swimming and cooling off! We finished off that day with a lovely barbeque.

The Captain and his wife know the area well and we went to various places that they advised us of, including: a swimming lake in Homps where, as well as swimming, we experienced some locals bringing their horses to bathe; Carcassonne City where we could shop and the medieval castle which is beautiful and a must see; Aqualand in Agde (close to the Medditeranean) where my daughter had a fantastic time, despite being the only day where the weather wasn’t so great; a cave where I could sample and buy wine (cheap!!)

Cruising was brilliant! We could join in and help with the ropes or sit back and enjoy the ride and scenery. And the scenery is breathtaking! It was lovely to lay back, soak up the sun and watch the scenery go by.

We chose to cook for ourselves most nights, rather than go to a restaurant and enjoyed having barbeques on top of the boat, with a few glasses of wine and a bit of star gazing. The sky is so clear and because there is no light polution, you’re able to see satellites crossing it, which we had great fun competing with each other to see who spotted the most!

Overall, this has to have been one of the most relaxed holidays I have been on. Travelling through the French contryside, knowing we were in the safe hands of the staff, meant I could leave all the normal worries of being in a certain place at a certain time (package holiday stuff) behind and just enjoy the holiday.

I would highly recommend a holiday on this wonderful barge. It’s your holiday and you can make it whatever you want it to be."

- Emma Crossingham
