We are family of three living on a boat and sailing thought the rivers and canals in Europe, mainly France, Belgium and Netherlands. But you can find here all of our travels.
Cold, wind, rain and humidity. Sometimes frosty mornings with frozen cords. These were our sailing conditions during the first two weeks of December. Of course we would prefer to sail during the warm, beautiful summer days, but this was the second year this canal was closed. We just wanted to go further north with our... Lire la Suite →
Living on a boat is amazing. If you once experience this kind of lifestyle, you can't go back to "normal" life. But the truth is, it's not for everyone. We have changed few marinas and towns and met many people with many stories and all kinds of boats. From luxurious to "how can someone live... Lire la Suite →
We decided to take a last minute vacation in the beautiful region of Ardèche. This gorgeous part of France is full of wilderness, stunning gorges, rivers surrounded by breathtaking mountains, zigzag roads, small medieval villages, French culinary delights and of course wine. We stayed in a small Airbnb house, lost in the forest, far from... Lire la Suite →
We were ready to continue our travels. My captain Mario came back from work. His sister came to navigate with us. We started the motor in the morning to sail more north through the Canal de la Marne. And just to be sure we called the authorities if everything is fine. But we've got the... Lire la Suite →
Or should I say staying in Auxonne? Me and my daughter stayed here for 2 weeks while my captain Mario went to work. You can stay with the boat in the marina or on one of the pontoon which are closer to the city. You can pay for electricity and water. The only disadvantage here... Lire la Suite →

It is famous for its mustard and gingerbread, we decided to try the second option. Everywhere you look you just want to take out your camera. Little M. loved playing in the fountain in front of Palace... Lire la Suite →
In Port sur Saône left our little help, the grandfather "papy", so downstream it's just the three of us. It was great to have extra help and company during this first stage of our sailing. On the way back to Gray we decided to stop in this small village, because we didn't want to navigate... Lire la Suite →
To arrive in our final destination on Saône, Port sur Saône, we passed another tunnel - Tunnel de Saint-Albin. The entrance to the tunnel is not straight, but there are curves as you can see on the photo above. It was an interesting experience. The marina of this city is small and looks little bit...

Just before arriving at the marina of Savoyeux there is 642 meters long tunnel. We've got refreshed inside in this summer heat. The marina is small and there is just nature around. It is situated next to the nearby villages Seveux-Motey and Savoyeux that are not so far by bike. We were lucky because there... Lire la Suite →
