    We absolutely loved it! Gen and Jean-Louis made us feel at home right from the beginning. You can tell how much they love being on the boat. Just every detail is so well thought of, the way they renovated the barge is outstanding and it was really...

    The host Jean-Louis and the hostess Gen were most accommodating and recommended a restaurant for the evening. One drawback - no restaurants are open on a Monday in Castelsarrin!!

    A riverboat, what's not to like?! On the Canal, comfortable bed, high ceilings, bright, quiet, tasty breakfast with local fruits, croissants and jams. Freshly squeezed orange juice!! Safe storage for bicycles.

    Un accueil chaleureux et attentionné de Gen et Jean Louis tous deux passionnés de batellerie ce qui met à l'aise dès l'arrivée. Probablement derniers clients avant la trêve hivernale, nous avons néanmoins pu profiter d'un petit déjeuner bucolique...

Gemjo, our Dutch Barge (Clipper) 30m long and 5m wide, is moored in the Port Jacques-Yves Cousteau, Castelsarrasin (82100) in the Tarn and Garonne, France. She has been converted into a comfortable home, where we live aboard all year round. Halfway between Agen and Toulouse (by bicycle) Gemjo Barge offers you a welcome break. We propose two cosy and comfortable double cabins with breakfast included. Each cabin has shower and private toilet facilities. Breakfast is all homemade, local and organic with fresh seasonal produce. There is a shady terrace on deck ~ a space for breakfast in the morning sun, or just for relaxing with a view over the port. Inside, there is a comfortable sitting area for the cooler mid-season evenings. Take a peak at our board games and bookshelf. The Cabins: Green Cabin • 15m2 • ⁠Double bed • ⁠Shower, wash-basin and WC en suite Blue Cabin • 14m2 • ⁠double bed ⁠OR 2 single beds (please stipulate) • ⁠Shower and wash-basin. (Private WC outside the cabin) The Barge: We will welcome you with pleasure from 5pm onwards… You have a choice of restaurants in Castelsarrasin walking distance from the boat, for your evening meal.
Castelsarrasin has a traditional French market every Thursday morning, with a few stalls also on Saturdays and Sundays. Restaurants offer a choice of traditional cuisine as well as menus from further afield. We are right on the cycle track on the Canal de Garonne, not far from Moissac with its Abbaye Saint-Pierre and Cloisters (UNESCO listed) with the Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle Pilgrim Path. The museum Espace Firmin Bouisset (one of the pioneers of modern publicity) or the "Pente d'Eau" / water-slope machine at Montech are some of the excellent reasons to take a break with us.
