Mirabelle cruises in Bordeaux

The Bordeaux region is famous for it's wines of course, but also has some of the most fantastic scenery in France.
What better way to explore the region than aboard a boat, whether that be a self drive cruise, or a hotel barge?

Today I am delighted to introduce the Mirabelle to you. Accomodating up to 24 guest, the Mirabelle cruises on the Garonne and Dordogne rivers, the Gironde Estuary, the Canal des Deux Mers, the Canal Laterale a la Garonne and the Canal du Midi.
No other boat explore such a variety of waterways.

Air conditioned and central heated, the barge is comfortable throughout the season which runs from April to the beginning of November.

A variety of carefully researched excursions invite guests to visit the fascinating city of Bordeaux, the Medieval village of St Emilion, the Chateaux of Guiraud, of d'Yquem, of de Roquetaillade and Falfas, as well as some of the local vineyards for wine tasting.

Prices begin at 3101 USD or 2215 euros per person, so why not contact us now for the barge cruise of a life-time at a very reasonable price?

It's pouring with rain today here in Burgundy, but I am hopeful that spring will be back again by the weekend! With just three weeks until the opening of the self drive boating season, we could do with some better weather!

Hotel barges and the recession

I don't really like to use the word recession, but I think that it would be unrealistic to ignore that we are certainly facing difficult times financially.
Every news bulletin, every newspaper seems to have nothing to report other than doom and gloom: The closing of another factory, a bank going under, and so forth.
It's difficult to know what to do in such circumsances; Do you hope that the government will shore you up? Ideal if you happen to be in the car industry, but of no use whatsoever to the tourist industry. Those set to suffer most here in France are the hotel barges, and a number are currrently up for sale. Of course, this gives additional business to the remaining barges but waiting for business to come ones way is hardly very active!
Now for the good news!
Tom and Sue Hollows are not so complacent as to wait and see! Owners of a half board charter barge, the Easyvie, they offer cruises for up to 6 people aboard their beautiful boat, which is also their home. Already at a very competitive price, I have just negociated a reduction in their prices: You can currently book a 7 day cruise for 6 from as little as 7000 euros! That's 3000 euros less than their normal rates.
Not only will you have a fantastic week exploring the Aquitaine, but you will not be worrying about the cost!!
Call me now on +33 614 250 200 or email me at hotelsafloat@nordnet.fr for information.

I look forward to hearing from you.
