The New Year

A new year and the Luciole is moored in Auxerre, after her visit to Paris, for the five yearly inspection.  All went smoothly, with little work required enabling the Luciole to be back in Burgundy, well before Christmas.

Our crew are scattered in exotic places: Mexico, New Zealand, Thailand, Australia, France and England.  Soaking up the sunshine or playing in the snow.  Batteries re-charging.

The Luciole begins her 49th season of cruising in April.  The big 'five oh' next year!  There have been many alterations and improvements since 1996 of course and the winter work programme for this season is now well underway.

We were delighted to be awarded by the highly respected British Paper 'The Times' a top fifty position of best holidays in France for 2015.  Roll on Spring.....
