The cruise on the Saroche exceeded all expectations, a trip I'll never forget. The cuisine beyond perfection, the graciousness of the staff, the incredible selection of wines, the elegant table settings the scenery, the excursions to castles, villages and wineries, the comfort and cleanliness of the Saroche... the canals and locks, the close connection to nature… simply fulfilling in every way.

A truly awesome adventure, a vacation that is beyond compare. Kevin, your hospitality has no equal and your regional knowledge is priceless, Jody mere words cannot do justice to you culinary talents. The meals weren't just "dining out" they were gourmet adventures.

I am not sure where to begin to thank you all for a beautiful week on Saroche. The food and wine selections were magnificent. The crew and attention to detail were beyond our expectations. You should be proud of all the wonderful experiences you create for your customers. Truly wonderful.

Many thanks for a unique experience that touched upon perfection. The food was unparalled, the service impeccable, the ambiance delightful. We look forward to our next adventure on the Saroche/Camargue trip in 2010

Many thanks for a wonderful week. The sublime food & wine, professionalism of the crew and exceptional weather made this a wonderful, relaxing vacation.

Thankyou for the most wonderful vacation we have ever had! The food, the wine, the accommodation, the service…everything was perfect! You even managed to make the sun shine for us.

Kevin, Jody & Crew, we have had one of the most memorable weeks ever! So many sights and the food has been amazing!

Thankyou for a memorable trip. This was my first barge trip and I can’t wait to take another (but only on the Saroche!) The crew was exemplary and we enjoyed each of you. The food was spectacular! Each days excursions were interesting and superbly guided. I would recommend the Saroche and its crew to anyone.

We were especially delighted by your knowledge of the Burgundy surrounds,the wine and especially the excellent choice of foods.

Thank you Kevin, Jody, Lindsay & Matt for an exceptional week of fine dining, lots of laughter and daily excursions.

Dear Jody, Kevin, Lindsay & Matt Thank you for making this a special trip. The food was beyond expectations. We enjoyed every aspect of the cruise.

Reality - whatever that might be - will be very hard to return to! The week on Saroche was far more than I had ever imagined! Between the crew, the boat, the food & wine and the beauty of the country it was all one wonderful dream! Everything was perfect - your kindness and generosity - and indeed humour - completed the fairytale

We could not have imagined a more spectacular & special week. Our week on Saroche exceeded all of our expectations! Your hospitality, the wonderful food & wines, the warm service and the visits to the countryside and towns were all wonderful. This will be a week of great memories. Perhaps we'll be so fortunate to be back on Saroche again. Certainly you will have our strongest recommendations for others. Thank you again!!!

We have found this boat, so carefully created, a true haven with attention given to every loving detail. We thank you for the loving care which you gave to us. The food, the trips, the wine. The tidy staterooms and the humour, never forget the humour, the ingredient which will keep you all in our hearts forever.

Again & again & again - Thank you thank you thank you. What a superb week. Great times with family. The crew - you all were incredible - good scenery, food, wine well incredible.

Once again the Saroche and her crew have set the standard for luxury barging. The memories will hopefully last longer than the pounds we will seek to lose upon our return!

What a week! Thank you for sharing the beautiful Saroche with us. The gourmet meals were fabulous! The explorations off the boat were fun and informativeespecially the trips to the vineyards and caves not to mention the markets. You've raised the bar for all other barges for your hospitality, food and accommodations. Thank you for the trip of a lifetime that we'll always treasure.

Sailing on a barge, down the canals in France. What a dream vacation! And it turned out even better than we could ever have imagined. The weather was perfect and the cruising was wonderful! The crew were more than super-attentive. They each gave us their utmost in personal service in their own area of expertise. They became the sweetest icing on our superlative cake! We can't wait to do this again - with our new "old friends" - thank you so much for such wonderful lasting memories.

Saroche, her crew, her chef & her Captain have again out done themselves. Wonderful food, touring and weather all combined to make for a perfect week. Thank you all again for making our 3rd trip on Saroche superb.

Our week on the Saroche was completely enchanting. I felt like a princess with my personal chef, lady in waiting and royal consort. Everything on the barge was obviously designed for our comfort and enjoyment. The experience of being pampered and catered to for a week is one we will never forget.

You may find a more beautiful barge (but I doubt it) You may find better food & wine (but I seriously doubt it) but this is for sure you will not find a better crew than on Saroche to spend a week cruising the Burgundy Canal ( I have no doubt about it)

This has been the best family vacation ever. We have enjoyed the accommodations, delicious food and great staff. Thank you Captain Kevin for a great experience.

We've had a wonderful week. Thanks to your gracious hospitality and dedicated effort to pattern the trip around our personalities (not an easy task). Each of you bought something very special to our vacation. We had lots of good times and laughter that shall linger forever.

A wonderful introduction to the canals of South France. Sete, Montpellier, Aigues Mortes et al. "no barge envy here". Our accommodation was top notch and we have never had better dining. The mix of relaxed yet professional atmosphere is here on Saroche. One of the best holidays.
