Boating Holidays across the canals and rivers of Europe from Le Boat

Fontenoy le Chateau Base

Base manager Didier Ketterle welcomes you to Fontenoy le Château. Fontenoy- le-Chateau is a small market town, divided by the River Coney, with bags of character. It used to be a large town during the Middle Ages, but has since shrunk. The atmosphere though has remained the same and walking around the town’s cobbled streets is a very pleasant experience indeed..

PRE-ORDER YOUR GROCERIES

Order one (or more) of our 2 grocery packs, which will be ready on board for you when you arrive:

1) “Sundowner Pack” - all the essentials for your first evening on board
2) “Starter Pack” - all you need for your first night & morning.

These packs are only available prebooked, from the time of your booking up to a few weeks before departure. For the full details of the packs, please visit our Important Extra page.

PRE-ARRANGE YOUR TAXI TRANSFER

Le Boat will be happy to arrange transfers from your arrival point to the base. Please download a taxi transfer form here and send it to the base at least 14 days prior to departure. The base receptionist will contact you directly to confirm details of your transfer.

LATE ARRIVALS

If you are going to be arriving at the base late, you will need to inform the base directly or the general sales office where you booked.
