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

http://www.hotelsafloat.com/

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? !

Paris Boat Show

HI all,

This month see's one of the most popular events in Paris: the Salon Nautique.
Although not holding a stand this year, I will be nipping up to Paris to inspect the 'nouveautés', and to meet prospective clients looking for that special cruise.
Many visitor's attend the show looking for a boat to purchase, but there are increasing numbers looking for that special boat holiday, whether it be a self drive or crew chatered cruise.
If you are unable to attend the show, and let's face it, you may not want to be among so many people!, you may like to visit our site instead where you can see all the self drive boats on display at the salon, and many, many more.
As an English speaking agent, I can assure you that my advice will be impartial and based on my knowledge of the french waterways, hire boat companies, regions, gastronomy and so forth acquired over the past 12 years since I moved to Burgundy.
Visit my site now at

and beat the crowds!
In addition, we are offering some excellent early booking discounts up until the end of the year. With just 23 days to go, contact me sooner rather than later to save up to 15% on published rates.
