Many thanks for a very memorable experience. We had a wonderful time. The history and culture of the area was most interesting. Neil’s knowledge of the area is formidable. We especially appreciated the competence of all the crew – friendly, efficient and professional. We wish we could stay longer, but we will have fond memories. Merci !

The week on the Luciole was just as great as
on the Palinurus in 1982. I have been pampered
and privileged to be a guest. Thank you to Neil
and the crew. This sort of trip can never be
forgotten and will be in my heart forever

A beautiful way to see Burgundy, the barge was very comfortable and the food
outstanding. We drank some of the finest wines of France while our lovely crew pampered to our daily needs. The tours were very informative led by our humorous guide Neil. This trip was the best, we will be back!!

What a fantastic week! Thank you for bringing us into
your floating home from home – I know you call it a
“Hotel” Barge, but this felt like visiting friends or
family in their home. (with a fantastic cook)
I will send my friends your way.
Thanks so much

Captain Neil and Crew
Many thanks for your efforts to make this a perfect vacation. We have enjoyed everything. A most memorable birthday for Paul, but he probably would say his turn at the helm was the best!! Hope we can return some day soon

Thank you. I hope our paths meet again!
