Where
Burgundy, Rhone, Midi, Bordeaux, Alsace-Lorraine, Upper Loire, England, Scotland, Ireland, Belgium and the Netherlands.
Types of Vessels
All different but for example wood panelled with generous lounge area and bar and most with outdoor sun deck and furniture, larger boats often with a splash pool/spa.

Additional
Most barges carry bicycles, which can usually be provided for children as well. Ballooning, tennis, golf and horse riding can be arranged each barge usually has its own minibus for excursions. There are some family departures and there are a good number of smaller boats which may be better suited for family trips.
