We had a great time with our granddaughter, thanks to the team. It was very pleasant. The boat is really nice, we stayed downstairs as it was too hot upstairs.

A modern museum in terms of its architecture, aesthetics, and ease of navigation from one room to the next. It features a variety of engaging, interactive exhibits that blend well-researched commentary with captivating displays. Rich in content, the museum also offers innovative and interactive experiences, notably its olfactory tour. The view from the observation deck and the tasting bring the visit to a wonderful close.

Very sympathetic lady talking live about Bordeaux's history related to the part of the Garonne we passed with the boat. Very clean boat and not overcrowded by the end of June. Very good espresso on board! 👍
