"Roi Soleil" is a child-friendly canal barge - we have had many happy young families onboard.

We welcome children on our barge cruises and offer a wide range of activities to suite your children's age-group. We can even provide a fourth cabin for a Nanny to join the barge trips in the crew quarters if required.

There are many possible activities other than the sheer pleasure of barging, such as: cycling; horse-back riding; 4-wheel driving on a bull ranch or on a rally track; hot-air ballooning; panoramic plane flight; bull-herding; cultural village events and village markets; or simply swimming at the beach or in a river or lazing by the spa onboard. Bicycles and helmets can be supplied to suit the size of the children.

We can plan dual excursions for children and adults during the canal cruises. Visit the museums or shops whilst the kids are supervised at the playground or markets - have a wine-tasting in the Wine Chateau whilst the kids take a 4-wheel-drive in the grounds on the rally track.

There is a full range of DVD's for children onboard and board games to play.

The onboard Chef will cater to their food choices.... The whole family will enjoy barge cruising in France onboard the “Roi Soleil”!
