ALOUETTE
: Amenities, Accommodations, Layout
Newly refurbished to the highest standards, Alouette accommodates up to four guests in two, well-appointed suites. Her sun deck provides the perfect place to relax and enjoy the passing scenery. Alouette cruises the beautiful tree-lined Canal du Midi between Carcassonne and Béziers and is the ideal barge for a family holiday.
Interior refurbishment:
‘Provincial style’ with traditional furnishings and fixtures
Bedrooms
Alouette was built in 1908 at Ouderkeek in the Netherlands. Whilst used as a cargo barge, she was first named ‘Cura’ and, later, ‘Mars’. In 1986 - 1987, she was converted into a luxurious passenger-carrying barge and was re-named Alouette.
Alouette is a Luxemotor type of barge and is 30,48 metres in length and 4,85 metres beam.
In 2008, the Alouette was converted from a six to a four passenger luxury hotel barge. The interior of the barge was also refurbished to the highest standard.
