Overall, to sum up our experience: Very enjoyable-staff wonderful-food exceptional. All of it in the company of 6 people I thoroughly enjoyed, whom I would never had met before the trip." |
| "It was the most relaxing trip I have ever taken!. Just watched France float past, when not eating and drinking wonderful wine. All of it in the company of 6 people I thoroughly enjoyed, whom I would never had met before the trip." |
| "Another fabulous barge trip. The weather was not perfect but the boat and staff were. The food and wine were truly first class. We've made some wonderful new friends that I feel sure we will see again." |
| "Going down the 8 locks of Fonserannes at Beziers and through the tunnel and into the Etang de Thau to Marsaillian was an experience we shall never forget. The canal itself is truly a peaceful picture postcard." |
