What if you discovered another way to travel?

Go on an adventure with family, friends or only two on the canals, rivers and streams of France and Europe with a licence free Les Canalous houseboat.

Our house boats are licence free. Before you leave we will take the time to give you an introduction, so we can issue you with a temporary licence for the duration of your river cruise on a houseboat.

Whether it’s for a weekend, a mini-week or for a longer term, you’ll enjoy the change of scenery and the feeling of freedom during your stay on a licence free houseboat. At the heart of the Slow tourism wave, river navigation is not only an unusual way to travel but also a disconnexion from daily life. Along the waterways, there are many ideas for activities. With river tourism, there is for sure something for everyone.

Since 1982 we have been happy to help you with your house boat holiday in France or in Europe. Les Canalous offer you 40 destinations in 11 different European countries. The majority of the boats we propose for hire are designed and built by us: boats designed by yachtsmen for yachtsmen.

Get in touch with our specialised Sales Team to help you in your holiday plans for a houseboat rental on the rivers and canals of Europe.
