French Hotel Barge ROSA to cruise Southwest France

We are very pleased to be adding the French Hotel Barge ROSA to our collection of barges.

Rosa, a 1907 Dutch Tjalk Clipper Barge, will be re-launched in southwest France in August 2010 after being completely refitted to a high specification.

Rosa cruises the beautiful Canal des Deux Mers (Canal Latéral à la Garonne)
in the Gascony / Bordeaux region of Southwest France

Rosa's new route between Agen and Montauban on the Canal des Deux Mers features the best that Gascony has to offer, including: private Armagnac and foie gras tastings, the motorised inclined water plane of Montauban, private wine tasting in the Cote de Frontonnais, visit to Moissac’s 7th century Abbey and Valence D’Agen’s beautifully preserved 4th century bastide architecture...

You may have already seen Rosa who was featured in the very successful BBC television series, French Odyssey with Celebrity Chef Rick Stein.

Rosa is fully air conditioned and will accommodate up to 8 guests. Her flexible layout will have two double-bedded and two twin-bedded staterooms, with full ensuite private bathrooms. The salon is particularly welcoming and features attractive wood panelling, comfortable seating and a cosy bar. The remodelling will ensure easier access directly onto the good sized sundeck and not via the side decks as previously. Rosa has an enthusiastic new French owner and an experienced crew of 4.

FRENCH HOTEL BARGE ROSA: AVAILABLE BEGINNING AUGUST 2010
