Air cooling and air conditioning

When the temperatures soar, our cabin air cooling system can help make your night’s sleep a little more comfortable. Air cooling uses canal/river water to produce cool air which is blown out through vents.

 

Please note: This is not the same as air-conditioning which can achieve lower temperatures and has a thermostatic control. Performance significantly reduces if canal/river temperature is too high.

We were meet early by Maureen at about 15:45, who was very helpful with canal instructions. She ordered a taxi to take us to the market. The boat was ready and stocked with the ordered previsions we had asked for. We were given an instructional boat operation tour by a very nice gentleman. Don't remember his name. We have been talking about this trip for many years and we finally were able to do it. This was an adventure of a lifetime.

The booking process was so easy, and the sales team were immensely helpful. We were given a huge welcome from the base team, who were absolutely wonderful. They gave great tips for places to visit, guidance on the best places to moor the boat, and advice on where we could comfortably reach in our timeline. The boat provided absolutely everything we needed. Very comfortable. Very spacious. It was like a floating apartment! Home from home.

We were so happy that we used Leboat for our French canal boat trip. From start to finish they made our vacation great. The booking and payment process was clear and easy to follow. Check in was a nice experience and our week aboard the Royal Classique was wonderful as the boat was clean and easy to operate and the scenery beautiful. Check out was surprisingly quick and efficient. All Leboat employees were fantastic! Thank you Leboat Team! Tawny and Scott We were so happy that we used Leboat for our French canal boat trip.

Because of motorway gridlock we were over an hour late getting to the boat. Julia, the lady at Boofzheim depot was incredibly understanding, helpful, cheerful and efficient. So, as far as service goes, it was brilliant. The boat was a little tired, but evreything worked OK, and we had a great holiday. Alsace was charming, and if you ever get a chance to go to Strasbourg, go there! Enjoyable and quiet set of canals. The locks are automatic and take a bit of getting used to, especially if there are only two of you onboard, but everyone seems to adopt a technique of their own that works. There are some lovely villages on these canals, and the canals themselves are relatively quiet.

I'm really glad to hear that you had such a brilliant holiday cruising the Alsace! We hope that we can welcome you on board again soon. All the best, The Le Boat Team
