Chatel Censoir Base
Michael Chadney
Base manager Michael Chadney welcomes you to Chatel-Censoir, your gateway to what many consider to be the most beautiful and romantic of all French canals, the Canal du Nivernais. Its shady banks and peaceful seclusion draw you into a dreamworld far, far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and you’ll find life on board a very relaxing experience!
PRE-ORDER YOUR GROCERIES
Take advantage of our online grocery ordering service which allows you to order a selection of basic provisions for your first few nights on board. This is especially useful if you are not driving to your base, or know you will be arriving after the supermarkets have closed. Simply download a provisioning list here, send it to the base and they will do your shopping for you! The cost of your groceries is payable in local currency when you arrive.
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.
