The lovely décor of Fandango has been featured in French home decorating magazines and on television. The sky-lit salon, replete with collectibles from 'la vieille France', is a welcoming space to curl up with a book or discuss the day's adventures. The Fandango has two cabins which can be made up with twin or king beds and one smaller cabin with a double bed for one or two guests.

The open galley and bistro atmosphere on Fandango is perfect for those who enjoy a glass of wine and sharing tales while Hazel or the chef prepares a succulent feast.

Fandango was built in 1939 specifically to the dimensions of the locks and low stone arch bridges of the Canal du Midi. Abandoned near Bordeaux in the 1970's when highways took over barge freight, owner Hazel Young convinced the Provencal cosmetics company L'Occitane to restore her as the historical flagship of the Canal and a glamorous floating showroom. Fandango returned to the Midi in 1998 to become a luxurious private charter barge for 4 to 6 passengers.
