Here On The Spot Recommendation
The Colibri is one of the latest additions to the barging world on the Canal du Midi, owner operated by the young couple, Fiona and Earl Pilatti. It is beautifully appointed, with great taste, and knowledge of how to use space on a barge. The cabins are very large compared with some other barges, and all décor throughout is contemporary, with light colours and light oak finishes. Earl and Fiona have a background of the yachting world, so they understand exceptional service, and will make you very comfortable. Fiona is a good cook and hostess, and is also the engineer! Earl is pilot, guide and host. This is a great choice for a group of 4 people, looking for a high quality cruise.
