Today I received a visit from some clients who had booked a canal boat holiday in 2005. So much did they enjoy their time that they decided that they would buy a barge and spend six months every year cruising the waterways of France. “It’s all your fault John”, they happily accused me!
In early May they head back to their boat in France from NZ, where they will stay for six more months! They have said that they would be very happy for any couples or single guests to come and join them on their boat on a cost share basis. This would be ideal for those who don’t want their own drive your own boat, but are perfectly content to help at the locks, and even help in the kitchen (galley) of the boat. If you think you might be interested in such a holiday just let me know.
Hi John,
Just read about the NZ couple looking for crew on their boat in France. I would be interested in finding out more regarding this opportunity.
Cheers!
