This weekend we have created a new online brochure for the French Hotel Barge ALEGRIA who cruises the Canal du Midi in the south of France.
Alegria hosts a maximum of four guests in two large cabins fitted with king size beds (or twins if you prefer), and is managed by a crew of five.
Barge cruising offers a week of relaxation, gastronomy, excellent wines, fascinating culture, great landscapes, and friendship with a warm nation.
Each day is a new day of discoveries...
Experience France from a different perspective!
Experience the fascinating world of boutique hotel barging, whether cruising the shaded Canal du Midi in southern France, the Venetian Lagoon of Italy, the rustic beauty of Ireland, the Royal River Thames in England, the stunningly rugged landscapes of Scotland, or the flower capital of Holland. See Europe from another perspective... via an all inclusive, luxury, crewed, hotel barge cruise vacation.

News from French Hotel Barge EMMA - Canal du Midi, France
A couple of days ago, we received an email from our friends Liz & Rene, owner-operators of the French Hotel Barge EMMA, who cruise the Canal du Midi, plus the Camargue & Provence areas of southern France.
Liz said:
It is absolutely gorgeous here now. We have started the painting and varnishing for the new season and on Sunday we are taking Emma from Capestang to the top of the locks at Beziers as there are no plane trees on the pontoon so we can paint at peace without all the fallout from the seed pods sticking in it. I hope this is Spring definitely settled in now with no big cold spells on the horizon, I am in summer mode.
à bientôt,
Sheila & Bob
