Not many people know that Bordeaux and the Aquitaine once belonged to the English! No wonder then that we Brits love the region. Living in Burgundy, I miss the hills of Yorkshire, where I lived for a number of years before moving to France 13 years ago. If I could move within France, it would be to the Aquitaine region. Not only is it absolutely stunning, steeped in history and with some wonderful weather ( and NO winter fog unlike Burgundy!) the region also has some wonderful wines to offer.
This region has always been popular with tourists too, and until the current economic crisis hit we enjoyed a regular flow of enquiries for cruises in the region. That is still the case, but unfortunately there are now fewer boats in the area. This year has seen the Mirabelle placed on the market. Once a beautiful boat, she needed updating and running costs alone have influenced the owners decision to sell. So, what can I do now for those large groups that contact us? Well, here at Hotels Afloat we have the solution: Easyvie and Saint Louis can now be hired in tandem, accomodating up to 12, and ideal for 10. A half board charter programme is available enabling our guests to enjoy breakfasts and quality lunches on board, while evening meals can be taken in the local bistos, restaurants, canal side cafés etc! There is plenty of choice whether you prefer casual or upper class dining!
So, if you fancy visiting this piece of old England in France, why not give me a call on +33 380 39 29 38 or email me on hotelsafloat@nordnet.fr
We are currently offering a huge discount on the Easyvie, so if you are a smaller group of 4-6, we will be happy to offer you the cruise of a life time at a once in a lifetime price!
