In Aquitaine our new cruiser boat base at Montauban gives an unmissable experience of the boat lift at Montech. Scenic Agen and Negra lead to the Canal du Midi, or cruise the River Baise from Le Mas d'Agenais and stop at ancient villages with superb restaurants.
On the River Lot our cruiser boat base at Douelle gives access to the scenic upper Lot, with limestone cliffs and cascading waterfalls. You can also hire a horse to take with you!
The River Charente is a beautiful and quiet river. Our base at Jarnac is close to the Courvoisier distillery and visitor centre. Note that the locks on the Charente are manual!
