Our Canal Boating Adventure in France

Many people have asked about our Locaboat canal trip June 24 through July 6, 2016 in France. Here are my notes. They are not too detailed, but just enough to get you exploring for your own trip!

Our flight arrived at 2:30 PM in Paris. Took about an hour thru customs and collecting our luggage. $16 taxi to hotel. Oceania. Beautiful pool & bar in the lobby. They speak quite a bit of English. Saw that  flight crews like this place too. Small room but big shower, wonderful water pressure and very comfy bed and pillows. Walked into town. Beautiful church and gardens. Dinner across the entryway at Nautical. Had a  perfect dinner w an extraordinary bottle of Bordeaux! Tomorrow is Sunday so the town bakery is closed so we’ll have to wait for our first Parisian croissant. read more
