Nice physical cruise on the Charente Well maintained boat and mechanical and comfort equipment in good condition For this third year in May on the Charente there was water and we were able to go as far as Angoulême but the wind was cold and unpleasant, you can't have everything?

The whole PARENT family was delighted with this experience, and sailing on the canals was a great first which delighted young and old alike. The region is magnificent, the people are generally very kind and all the Canalous staff are SUPER, attentive and very caring. Many thanks to the whole team

I really appreciated the kindness, the professionalism and the human side of the person in charge of the Pontailler base. I have been using the canalous for several times for barge trips and I am fully satisfied and ready to go back and advertise with you.

We were able to spend a wonderful mini-week in Alsace on "our" Marion. A special part of this was the sympathetic and professional-competent care by the team of Les Canalous. Certainly, the Marion is a boat that has already a lot on the hump, but for our demands on a sea voyage completely sufficient. Many thanks and greetings to the team of Les Canalous in the base Port du Houillon.
Mr Yves F, cruise from Carcassonne - Canal du Midi

I really enjoyed the week's stay, but the training time on the handling of the barge seems fair. This one was very comfortable, something to improve: The maintenance of the bikes. But it is in progress. I also need telescopic handles for the moorings. Otherwise, whether at the commercial headquarters or the team at the base in Carcassonne, employees at the top THANKS to you do not change anything !

Better experience at the departure of Pontailler sur Saône this year, compared to last year, from Colombiers. You have reconciled us with Les Canalous ! Very good stay with friends !

The ship could have been a little cleaner inside, but otherwise everything was wonderful. Benedicte from the departure base is a soul of a person - she is sooo great! Very high praise!

[…] We loved Paquerette, in spite of her poor old engine, she was a great home for our holiday! Our choice in coming on holiday with Les Canalous for around the 5th time was absolutely the right one!!

Selection of a few of our clients’ comments in 2017 :

Jean-François H., Croisière flu­viale sur la Mayenne (Che­nil­lé-Changé ), Juin 2017

Boat : Penichette 935W
Com­ment : Voilà plusieurs jours que je voulais écrire et vous faire part de notre extrême sat­is­fac­tion, sur l’expérience que nous avons faite en louant cette pénichette, au départ de changé-che­nil­lé.
Nous avons été pro­pre­ment embal­lés, et soyez cer­tain que la 1e occa­sion qui se présen­tera nous ver­ra renou­vel­er l’expérience, aus­si bien nous que nos amis avec lesquels nous avons navigué.

Le bateau était très bien, l’accueil du jeune homme, par­fait, les expli­ca­tions impec­ca­bles. Vrai­ment rien à redire, et croyez bien que nous allons en faire la pub.

Le seul reproche que nous feri­ons , mais vous n’en n’êtes pas la cause. Il n’y a pas assez de points de restau­ra­tion, et quand il y en a, ils sont soient fer­més . nous pen­sons à un des restau de che­nil­lé, et de la guinguette du bac, qui fait une pub dans vos prospec­tus, où on nous a répon­du à 19h « ah non on ferme, on devait déjà fer­mer à 18h. absol­u­ment anti com­mer­cial, et pas génial pour le tourisme, surtout lors d’un long we.

Par con­tre un grand bra­vo aux éclusiers, éclusières, extrême­ment disponibles, souri­ants, aimables, disponibles. Il faut impéra­tive­ment les con­serv­er, cela con­tribue au charme , et à l’attrait de votre région, dans laque­lle nous revien­drons , sans doute l’an prochain, et à plusieurs.

Félic­i­ta­tions à tous.
