October 6-20, 2012, Barging and Enjoying France
Two full weeks in France!
Barging the Canal du Midi on a new HYBRID Diesel/Electric 49 foot barge. Four luxurious (for a boat) staterooms, each with its own ensuite head and flat screen TVs (although we will need European DVDs -- American DVDs apparently don't work in Europe, so don't bring any... but perhaps we can plug in our cameras to view and edit our daily photos). Air conditioning and heating available in all rooms for maximum personal comfort while on board. Joe is on hand to do all sorts of things, like pilot the boat (although everyone likes some time at the helm and certainly gets to drive the boat, if they choose to do so), and provide and educate us on some fantastic local French wines (but if you find some wines you want to purchase and share with anyone or the whole group, feel free). Joe and Susan plan many of our outings and either guide us or provide regional guides to enlighten us on various segments of our journey. Bicycles (a few -- we may have to take turns) will be available while on board for riding along the canal and exploring the countryside as well. Then, after our exciting week on the boat, we're off for another week in our fabulous villa in the South of France for our next adventures! $3,300 pp. (does not include airfare or transportation to and from our start and end points). Most restaurant meal costs will be shared as well. All breakfast foods (coffee, yogurt, bread/pastries, eggs, juices, and fruits) and most of all lunches and dinners prepared and served either on the boat or in the house are covered by Joe as well. All museum and guide fees, car rentals, boat moorage and fuel, car fuel, parking, and tolls will be covered by Joe Euro Travel. For more information, contact Joe at Joe@PTwineseller.com (360.385.7673).
$1,200 pp. deposit required to get on our list of fellow travelers for this incredible very small group journey. Only eight total travelers; only six spaces available!
