She was a working barge, sailing and transporting goods just up to 1988, and then, after a trip to Alsace, was completely renovated and refurbished under the control of Berend Gozens,an expert, a river boat artist. Since then, La Vancelle has been the joy and contentment
of her owners, Florence and Bernard Odinet. Today, she is waiting for you on the Canal du Midi, so that she can help you discover the freedom and joys of a canal cruise in the Midi. She is 22 metres (72 feet) long, which makes her easy to steer, and 4,30m, 14 feet, wide, which makes her comfortable. She is fully equiped for canal cruising; a 130 hp motor, a stern mounted propellor, a hydraulic steering wheel. And also all the comforts needed, a 4000 litre water tank, a water heater for hot water and heating, a cooker, an oven, a dish washer, a clothes washer and dryer, two fridges. For a touch of romance, there is also a piano on board.... A corner kitchen, dining room and living room, three cabins, two with double beds and one with twin beds, each cabin with its own bathroom, means that six people can be accommodated in full comfort. The furnishings and interior finish are most often in exotic hard wood and give an authentic "sailing" ambience. The crew have their own private cabin with bathroom at the front of the boatL
