The Hotel-Barge Emma, cruising the Canal du Midi between Carcassonne and Beziers and waterways of the Canal du Midi region.
Renè, your captain, was born in Sète, and Liz, originally from Ireland, has been living in France for the last 10 years.
Hospitality Aboard the Emma -- a night out with guests.
Above and below, Emma's salon.
That "large" bottle on the table is a 1.5L 'magnum' of Picpoul de Pinet ... a wonderful white wine typical of the region.
Special Places Travel co-owner Sally Dillin, and Emma's co-owner Liz McCaughtry relax in the salon over conversation about the week's cruise ahead.
Above: Welcome aboard the Emma! The week begins ...
On the left, Captain and co-owner Rene pours guests a welcome toast. In the center are some wonderful canapes to welcome guests aboard! And on the right, Master Chef and co-owner Liz announces the wine selections for the evening's dinner. The charm and graciousness of the co-owners make this one of the most memorable weeks in barging!
