History |
Alouette was built in 1908 at Ouderkeek in the Netherlands. Whilst used as a cargo barge, she was first named ‘Cura’ and, later, ‘Mars’. In 1986 - 1987, she was converted into a luxurious passenger-carrying barge and was re-named Alouette.
Alouette is a Luxemotor type of barge and is 30,48 metres in length and 4,85 metres beam, the only boat in the Afloat in France fleet that can navigate the Canal du Midi. This is a well-appointed boat with all cabins well above the water line.
In 2008, the Alouette was converted from a six to a four passenger luxury hotel barge. The interior of the barge was also refurbished to the highest standard. | | |
