All the barges have bikes on board, typically hybrids or mountain bikes, and you can ride them along the towpath beside the canal, or you can walk or jog there, it's easy to keep up with the barge. In addition, the barge operators have arranged for professional cycle touring support from experienced guides. See below for the details about the barge, La Belle Epoque, and the itinerary. Other weeks are available, however. This barge holds 12 people in 6 cabins.
Every cabin has a private bath.
The barge has its own mini-van, that will join up with the bike trip at one or two times every day. The chef will prepare a lunch each day, and it can be taken to a suitable location by the van for our enjoyment, so we won't be without our great food, even when we bike. Breakfast and dinner will be on the barge. This could be the perfect trip for the couple that has differing interest in biking. Or go into town in the mini-van.
