This was our tenth boat and bike trip in Europe and without doubt one of the best. On this occasion we travelled from Montargis to Paris on the Fleur. It is an excellent boat with comfortable air-conditioned cabins and nicely appointed lounge and dining areas. During mid-summer the advantage of having an air-conditioned cabin should not underestimated. On this trip the crew and guides were outstanding. Meals were imaginative anjd delicious reflecting the cuisine of the region we travelled through. The crew and guides dealt with the inevitable challenges that occur during a tour (eg a passenger experiencing a serious injury) in a professional and supportive manner. In fact, they went well beyond what might have been expected. There was an excellent rapport between crew, guides and passengers making this an outstanding trip in every respect.
