| "Another fabulous barge trip. The weather was not perfect but the boat and staff were. The food and wine were truly first class. We've made some wonderful new friends that I feel sure we will see again." |
| "Going down the 8 locks of Fonserannes at Beziers and through the tunnel and into the Etang de Thau to Marsaillian was an experience we shall never forget. The canal itself is truly a peaceful picture postcard." |
