Our ambition

 

 

The old boats, image of the history have feature to enchant. A barge, a toue cabanée, a bateau-lavoir causes curiosity and public interest. Besides our boats are very confortable!

 

A boat has to correspond to the architectural heritage surrounding . Even newly built. Beside our boats are very well equipped!

 

One of people greater concern is to recover their authentic roots, getting close to the natural elements. Just live off the grid but with comfort. Besides we make your holidays easier: Wifi, hot shower all you want, tap water, dishwasher, real toilets, heaters in all rooms…
