The season begins with.... RAIN!

The cruising season has now officially opened. If only I could organise the weather as efficiently as I can find my guests a cruise to suit them!

Since last week, the weather has been decided changeable with some great sunshine, ideal for outside cruising, but also some torrential rain. The Burgundy canal was closed to navigation at the beginning of the week due to high water levels.
I was relieved to enjoy two sunny days, but the rain is back with us again today. Sorry Mr Loren!

Still, to cheer us all up, I have some great offers this month should you be looking for a cruise here in France slightly later in the season.
With Le Boat, I can offer these great discounts:

20% off for any April cruise: It won't rain all month!!

In the Alsace, cruising from Hesse, and in Burgundy Franche Comte : 10% off in May and July, and 15% off in June

In the Midi: 10% off in June and July

In the Nivernais: 10% off in October: This is a great month to visit this rural region to see the fantastic autumnal colours

A new fleet for Hotels Afloat


HI all!


Despite the recession, and the terrible storms here over the last 36 hours, I was very pleased to meet Steve yesterday, after several email exchanges concerning the possibility of working together. A true Brit like me, Steve is very tall: The only man to set off the wind chimes as he came through the door! A real gentleman and very, very helpful and honest.

So I now have some more boats to add to the site http://www.hotelsafloat.com/

and they are going to be a very big hit! The Euro Classics are steel, traditional shaped barges with a real touch of class. Air conditioning, electric flush toilets, DVD/CD and free-standing furniture. Beautiful both inside and out, these boats are available in the Burgundy region and the Midi, the most popular destinations in France for a barge holiday.

I could go on and on all day on these boats, but have emails to reply to not to mention the site works to get on with, so if you want to see the Euro Classics, go to


select the self drive boats, and then France Afloat.

There is even a possibility of having a daily captain, who will arrive each morning with your croissants! What more could you want? !
