| Welcome Aboard
"Imagine" |
 |
This summer "Imagine" will continue her
adventure in European travel while cruising the rivers and canals of France. Her
owners, Paul and Michelle Caffrey, invite you to join them as they explore new locations,
find great places to shop and eat, tour museums and generally enjoy life.
Unpack your bags in your private stateroom with modern en-suite
facilities and then enjoy a welcome aboard dinner. Breakfasts will include fresh
croissants, cereals, fruits and breads from the local boulangeries. Paul and
Michelle will provide a buffet lunch, often taken on deck, including local pates,
terrines, cheeses, salads, breads and a selection of local wines. |

| After breakfast you can
simply cruise along or try your hand at piloting the barge or assisting as you work your
way through canal locks. The pace is slow enough to walk or bicycle the canal paths as you
look for the perfect places to stop for lunches and dinner. You are always free to
use the dining facilities on the barge or set out on your own to explore the many towns
that you will visit. There you will find wonderful restaurants from local fare to
Michelin three-star establishments. Sightseeing trips can be taken to visit area
markets, old towns and churches and local wineries. |

Each
stateroom has twin beds (which may be made up as a queen bed if requested), opening
skylight and plenty of hanging and shelf space for clothes. The adjacent private
bathrooms have a sink, toilet and a spacious shower. There is a washing
machine and dryer on board so you can pack light. |
