Boat vacation rentals in Picardy

We only spent one night but wish it could have been more, our toddler fell in love with living on a boat! It was super cozy and was perfect for what we needed. Véronique was very responsive and helpful, we would love to stay again next time we pass through Reims.

Very close to the city center, the accommodation is spacious and pleasant. Jean-Marie is passionate and is a facilitator. I recommend it.

The location of this houseboat can’t be beat! Also, for the location and money, you will not find more space available. It worked very well for our family of 5. Be sure to be outside at sunset…walk 20 seconds under the bridge and catch an amazing view of the Eiffel Tower. We dined above deck most occasions and enjoyed the views of the river. The beds were comfortable and the shower was a delightful surprise as well. My 11 year old described it as a sensory overload with water coming at you from so many spouts…ha!. We loved it. Also, Therese and her family are super helpful with advice and help if questions or a need arose. The boat itself was made in 1931 and man, it is gorgeous. This thing would easily cost a fortune to construct today given the superb quality of the wood and craftsmanship. Keep in mind that you are staying on a boat and not in a hotel room and you will love it.

We were kindly received and given good explanations about the boat. It was neat and overwhelmingly decorated. You could sit on the front and back deck and we enjoyed the sunset. Staying on a boat has its charm and we enjoyed it. Thank you Laurens and Pedro for this special experience.

we stayed with our 4-year-old son on the boat for 2 nights and he enjoyed it tremendously. Everything we needed was present, do not expect luxury but a lot of charm. Everything we needed was within walking distance, bakery, restaurant, beach...

We booked this place to go to Nausicaa (15 min. walk), this allowed us to spend an original overnight stay in camping mode with our 2 children. We are close to everything, very nice corner, quiet and secure. The host is very flexible, available and welcoming (thank you again for all the small touches for the children😊). Access to the bathroom is easy and clean (but washed only in the mornings). We were happy to find sheets, kettle and microwave. No coffee machine but bakery next door. Only downsides, the smell of enclosed (we slept with the roof slightly open) the bedding is clean but not very comfortable and faded bench. But Quentin told us they plan to renovate very soon☺️. In short, as described and value. Thank you again for hosting us again and this unusual accommodation.

Nice little boat, suitable for short of family or a longer stay of a couple. Walkable distance to the beach and the city center.

We spent a night on the boat, very nice for the kids! All the instructions were clear, a great experience to try!

Clear instructions for picking up keys and finding the sailboat. Excellent experience on board, comfortable and sanitary nearby. Great, thank you so much for this unforgettable night

Martin and his wife were perfect hosts, extremely kind, patient and generous with their time and attention. The boat is very quaint and everything is cleverly done to make use of the space - like a caravan on water. The location is beautiful - a real French idyll and it is beside a traffic free bike path along the Seine filled with quintessential charm. From the boat deck you can see herons, ducks, geese, swans and moorhens on the river. It’s very easy to get into central Paris in under an hour by train. A stones throw from the boat there is a French restaurant as well as a traditional (and very friendly) Boulanger and patisserie and on Saturdays and Wednesdays a typical french fresh produce market which I really enjoyed. I had a wonderful trip and highly recommend the boat to anyone looking for a french getaway within reach of Paris.

A quiet holiday in a quiet place! The children were very happy. Despite the heat, it was calm and cool by the water. There is free parking, a store, a park, a cafe nearby. Advice to guests - be sure to hang the keys to the boat on the float so as not to drown them in the river)))

Quentin is a welcoming Host, very attentive, sensitive and responsive to our complaints. La Péniche is a peaceful haven, ideally located, and easy to access by the Quais. The double view... Pont Alexandre III and the Eiffel Tower are an incredible luxury. The interior is cozy... comfortable... and impeccably clean. A real treat for our stay, A big thank you to Quentin for hosting us and for his kindness. Highly recommend.

Perfect for a getaway in Rouen with free and secure parking.

Very pleasant evening on Catherine's barge, very central location for visiting the area while enjoying the tranquility of the banks of the Oise and Catherine's warm welcome.

Very peaceful and pleasant place. The hosts are discreet, eager to do well and very attentive. Breakfast and the aperitif board are just huge, hearty and well presented. I wish them a good continuation I would recommend it 100% Stéphanie
