Helping fight the Famine in Africa

This year Hotels Afloat will be supporting the work of the International Red Cross famine relief fund for Africa.
For every cruise confirmed before 25th December, we will donate 10€ to this charity.

While our clients save up to 15% by booking early, they will also help save lives.

We have a vast range of both modern and traditional style boats available with models to suit from 2-12 people.
With bases throughout France, there are both river and canals just waiting to be explored at a gentle pace....

So, dont hesitate to contact me early if you are planning to cruise in 2012.

Paris in November


Having spent a month up-dating my website at
www.hotelsafloat.com
I felt the need for a break from the office and the 16 hour days! So, here I am in beautiful Paris for a long weekend with my daughter, who is lucky enough to be working in the capital for Ernst and Young...

Day 1 saw the disappearance of the Eiffel Tower! Rebecca lives just 5 minutes from this historic momument so I had the camera at the ready... Fog obscured the top! Amazing!

As we crossed the river Seine, it was great to see the bateaux mouche full, despite it being very cold at Concorde...








Day 2 and beautiful Paris sunshine woke me... A day for walking, boutiques, and eating on the terrace close to the Montparnasse tower... A delightful little bistro, the Paradis aux Fruits...

A litte bijou.... The Randle


I'm delighted to add this new boat The Randle to our website at
www.hotelsafloat.com

The Randle offers half board charters for up to 4 on the breath-taking Nivernais canal in Burgundy.
Soak up the history and sample some great wines in places such as Chablis, Vezelay and Bailly..
Tim and his crew of matelot and cordon bleu chef, are excellent hosts with an infectious affection for the region.

Very reasonable rates for a truly memorable cruise whether you wish to simply sit back and relax, or learn how to pilot such a mejestic boat....

I look forward to hearing from you...
