Children and Animals

This kind of holiday is not generally suitable for children because of the safety issues raised. the barge therefore requires that ALL human guests are fifteen years old and over.

After much consideration, we do not allow pets of any kind aboard. This is again for safety reasons not only for our human guests, but for that of the pet. If your dog for example loves water and it jumps off the side of the barge in an ecluse or lock while that lock is in action, it will be almost impossible to retrieve and will most likely perish. Other reasons are that pets cannot use flush toilets and it's not always possible to just "pull over". 

Plus, there is also the danger of a pet causing someone to trip and fall overboard.
