Our week was fantastic, Lionel and Aurelie were great hosts, they greeted us at the airport, replied promptly to any messages we sent. Couldn't ask for anymore 😊
Lovely boat and a very nice owner, Lionel, who went out of his way to help us in every way. I would highly recommend this boat and Lionel and his lovely wife.
We spent three nights on Lionel and Aurélie's barge last week, and it was absolutely fantastic! There were five of us adults. The owners are very friendly and always available to help us if needed. The barge is recently renovated, very comfortable, and well-equipped. We were also able to rent bikes, which were available on the barge, which made it easy to explore the surrounding area. There was a slight misunderstanding upon arrival: the barge wasn't in Carcassonne as indicated on the website, but in Castelnaudary. No problem, we managed to organize ourselves without too much hassle. Upon arrival, a short training session was provided to learn how to maneuver the barge and navigate the locks (there are many!) In short, we loved our stay and recommend this barge (as well as the owners, as they own several!) for unforgettable moments on the water ;-) We're all already feeling nostalgic. Maybe see you soon!
We had a wonderful stay. The boat was tastefully furnished and met our expectations. Lionel and Aurélie are the best. Thanks to them for their advice and availability. Recommended
Great welcome, great boat that has been tastefully restored, the instructions and explanations are also great, the owners are available and attentive. In fact, we had some problems that were quickly resolved. Thank you for your welcome and thank you for everything
Very accommodating owner, very good advice and services provided. Boat perfectly met our expectations, very well equipped and comfortable beds. THANKS
Owners really very friendly, welcoming and very professional.
A big thank you to Aurélie and Lionel for this great experience. The boat is spacious, perfect for 7 or 8 people, nicely decorated and well appointed. Aurélie and Lionel are very welcoming, taking the time necessary to explain everything. They are ready to help at any time in the event of a problem. In short, don’t hesitate, book! Good luck, Anne
excellent week, the owners Lionel and Aurélie are very welcoming people and take great care of their customers. Many thanks again for your sympathy. Michaela, Michel, Francine and Pierre-Philippe
A big thank you to Lionel and Aurelie!!! Welcome, availability, kindness, everything was perfect!! We 100% recommend the boat rental and its owners!!! We had a superb stay aboard the Mydol!!! Very well equipped, functional and pleasant boat! We adopted it! Looking forward to Lionel, Aurelie and Mydol seeing each other again very soon.
We had a very good stay with friends aboard Lionel and Aurélie's barge. The owners are adorable, we had a great welcome, they remain available at all times. The barge is nicely decorated, very cozy. ready to repeat the experience.
Good boat with spacious spaces and good patio, very accommodating owner who behaved in an exemplary manner
The boat is old but recently and well renovated. All the necessary equipment is present and the owners are very responsive. The port of Carcassonne is very pleasant: lively during the day and calm at night. We sailed 2 days beyond Trèbes and spent two beautiful nights in nature, alone by the canal.
Lionel and Aurelie were great, very helpful and friendly, and the introduction was excellent! However, the boat was very old, so it wasn't good value for money. Sticky windows, only every other power outlet worked, and broken light switches in the bathroom didn't spoil our vacation, but when we saw the newer boats available for rent for the same price, we were disappointed.
We had an excellent stay with friends on this barge. As soon as we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the owners, whose kindness and availability greatly contributed to making our experience memorable. Their welcome was exceptional, making us immediately feel at home. They took the time to explain the details of the barge to us and this gave us confidence. The houseboat itself was comfortable, well equipped and had everything needed for a pleasant stay. Sailing the canal, surrounded by picturesque landscapes and charming villages, was a real escape. We appreciated the owners' advice for local stops and restaurants. In summary, a perfect stay thanks to attentive and caring hosts. We highly recommend this experience.
