A flavour of boating holidays
We were surprised how easy it was to drive the boat and navigate – the presence of lock-keepers is reassuring and makes life easy when at locks. The Nicols boat was great and our whole family thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We only wish we’d gone for a longer trip!

Jean Jacques, Montfaucon
