Emma Cruise the French Canals aboard the barge EMMA
Once upon a time, there was Emma . . .

Emma then ...

Courtesy of EMMA
A klipperaak built in Belgium in 1905, Emma spent the first 60 years of her life carrying cargo along the canals of France. Towed by mules with a little help from the wind and occasionally the skipper and his wife. Amazingly, her first engine was only fitted in 1970. Thirty years afterwards, Liz and René Jacquot saw her beauty and potential, and waved their magic wand...

Emma today ...


Another century, another world later, but the same unhurried pace. Lovingly restored and now a fully-equipped floating home accommodating up to six guests. Why not return to another time without giving up the comforts of modern life? Visit ancient villages and medieval castles, taste regional wines in the vineyards, explore local markets, walk or cycle along the towpath in the shade of ancient plane trees, or just soak up the sun.

Your Cruising Home on the 300-Year Old Canal du Midi

Slipping along at a gentle pace, sipping something cool, admiring some of the most beautiful of France's countryside and looking forward to enjoying the very best of French regional cooking.
