Description for B&B:
Mirage stands out as one of the most spacious barges available for cruising the Canal du Midi. The central grand saloon is bathed in natural light and fresh air, thanks to the large portholes that adorn both sides of the barge. Kick back and unwind with a cocktail or a glass of wine from the fully stocked bar, which boasts a unique decor reminiscent of a 1940s aviators lounge.As you relax, the open galley allows you to observe the preparation of your meals and pick up some culinary tips from your personal onboard chef. Indulge in your meals on the deck, taking in the serene and picturesque surroundings, or in case of inclement weather, the interior dining area offers a convivial atmosphere to savor cuisine crafted from the finest locally sourced ingredients.
A part of each day is dedicated to cruising along the canal, navigating through locks, and admiring the breathtaking countryside from the well-appointed teak deck. Should you desire further relaxation, a heated spa awaits, providing the perfect opportunity to let go of your worries and find your inner Zen. Additionally, join your English-speaking tour guide for daily excursions in the air-conditioned van to explore the area's many fascinating attractions, including charming villages, wineries, covered markets, and historic sites.
Mirage is an authentic 1950s French péniche, lovingly transformed into an elegant boutique hotel on water by owners Pascal and Mimi Chauvin. Cruising the historic Canal du Midi in southwestern France, Mirage offers luxurious accommodations for two to six passengers. What sets Mirage apart from other barge vacations on the Canal du Midi is the unique opportunity for an excursion. Pascal, retired from 21 years of jet flying in the French Air Force, now utilizes his extensive piloting skills to take passengers on an extraordinary 35-minute flight over the Languedoc countryside in a classic WWI biplane called the Comet.
