About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire house boat to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

We have a boat!<br>On board a barge!<br>

Welcome, Welcome!
Are you going on a great adventure this weekend? No original ideas? Our mariner's accommodation awaits you aboard L'Elixir!

Leaving for the weekend with no idea of a unique place to stay? Our room awaits you approaches L'Elixir!

By boarding the boat, you have access to a 30m2 space that is entirely dedicated to you. Immediately upon entering, you will be in the wheelhouse which has been converted into a small kitchen with sink, hob, fridge, and microwave. Your accommodation is independent from ours, you live on one side of the boat and we live on the other side.

Going down a few steps, you will find yourself in your room with a double bed (140cmx160cm) Here you can rest and read a Jules Verne novel watching the barges go by. You also have a sliding door that opens onto your bathroom with a toilet, sink and walk-in shower.

Outside, you will find a small terrace which is located at the back of your accommodation. Here you can enjoy the sun and the family of ducks that live nearby.

We kindly remind you that it is a boat and is not comparable to a hotel. With that said we welcome all open minded friendly guests. The accommodation is a part of our home, respect of the property and respect for this type of living is requested. If you are not ready for the experience of a night on a boat and the romance, dreamscape, and freedom that it offers, we ask that you refrain from booking.
You have access to a space of 30m2 fully dedicated to you. It is the captain's cabin which includes a small kitchen near the entrance with a sink, stove, fridge and microwave. There is private entrance to your room as the accommodation you will have the opportunity to experience is located on one side of the boat and we live on the opposite side. To access the sleeping quarters descend a few stairs where you will find an equipped double bed (140cmx160cm) .Here you can rest and read a Jules Verne book under the sunroof before planning your day. The room also has an Italian styled bathroom hidden behind a sliding door which is also fully equipped. Outside of your room you will find a terrasse where if weather permitting you can enjoy the sunshine and see a family of neighborhood ducks and swans that visit often.

Bon accueil d arrivĆ©e par contre nous sommes partis sans savoir comment on faisait aucune explication mĆŖme la veille du dĆ©part. Nous sommes partis en laissant un mot et les clĆ©s vu qu on doit quitter pour 11h dommage. Un bon coup de nettoyage surtout certains coins. Sinon sĆ©jour agrĆ©able

Je me suis sentie tout suite comme Ć  la maison. J'ai passĆ© un agrĆ©able moment sur le pont en soirĆ©e. Cela m'a permis de me dĆ©connecter complĆ©tement de ma journĆ©e de travail.

Un endroit diffƩrent pour une expƩrience unique
Si vous n'avez jamais eu l'expĆ©rience de passer une nuit et de vivre un peu sur une pĆ©niche, vous venez de trouver l'endroit idĆ©al. C'est un peu comme une maison de poupĆ©e installĆ©e sur le canal mais avec les pĆ©niches qui passent (seulement en journĆ©e), on a la sensation de devenir un des leurs. Stephen et Aaron sont trĆØs discrets et laisse pourtant toute leur sensibilitĆ© Ć  portĆ©e de main. Le soir arrivant ou au petit matin, on peu observer le hĆ©ron chasser dans un petit havre de paix. BRAVO
