The Mathurin barge

The kitchen

The open kitchen is the real focal point:

generous work surface, family oven, spacious fridge and hob for cooking produce from the Saint-Omer market.

People prepare, chat and pass the coffee pot around before serving around the large table, with windows overlooking the canal.

It’s a simple, warm moment, with the flavour of the marsh just off this unusual gîte.

The relaxation area

The cathedral saloon, bathed in light from its windows at water’s edge, is the ideal place to relax: deep sofas, 180° panoramic views of the canal and the gentle rhythm of the water lapping against the hull.

You can sit back and chat, read or simply let the time go by, enveloped by the tranquillity of the place and its surroundings.

Bedroom 1 - Le Phare

The first refuge when you board, this cabin is elegantly simple:

light oak, wall fresco and porthole opening onto the canal.

The berth can be transformed on request

while the storage space and individual reading light promise a night’s sleep without compromising on comfort.

Bedroom 2 - Foredeck

The Sailors' Suite

At the rear, the most spacious bedroom extends the softness with immediate access to the bathroom with island bath.

Here, the Eiffel structure, solid wood, lighting and unobtrusive view over the Canal create the ideal cocoon for two, lulled by the gentle flow of water.

An authentic place, full of history and new adventures.
