🔒 Practical information

🚫 Pets not allowed

👟 Shoes to be removed at the entrance (carpet)

⚠️ From mid-September to mid-December: lowering the water level by about 10 metres to anticipate flooding. The gangway then becomes very steep — difficult access for people with reduced mobility.

⚠️ In case of high heat or heat wave, it can be hot on board in the afternoon despite the air conditioning. But the boat has been designed for your comfort: thanks to the mosquito nets, you can leave everything open at night to enjoy the coolness, and use the fans to sleep well.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
