I stayed with Colette and Philippe for a total of five weeks. Five weeks in a boat with 100 square meters, often with additional people staying in their second rented bedroom, and there was never any even slight degree of friction or awkwardness! They are wonderfully welcoming and warm; there were always smiles all the way around when we would see each other. If I could custom-design a host couple, I couldn't come up with a more perfect couple to stay with. My love to them, and my hope that we may be able to maintain contact through many years!
