TANGO
Tango, built in 1931, initially navigated on the canals of North Eastern France. In the 1950's she sailed South and was shortened to 100 feet to fit the Canal du Midi. When commercial barging ceased in the 1970's, Tango was retired in a small canal-side village. Now, lovingly converted into a deluxe charter barge for up to six guests, Tango offers the ultimate in spaciousness and elegance for Midi barge cruising. Tango's decor is a delight in all its details. Large opening brass portholes throughout the vessel and opening skylights provide fresh circulating air and light. French art deco fixtures, provencal ivory linens and rich mahogany wall paneling recreate an atmosphere of the 1930's French passenger liners. Here the large salon with yellow leather sofa, bar and dining room. One of the great attractions of Tango are the hand-made tiles throughout all the cabins' baths. Designed by local artist and family-friend Alan Vagh, the baths are simply luscious to look at as well as functional Tango has two comfortable decks with plenty of room to relax or enjoy the sunset with an aperitif. Cruise through the magnificent vistas of vineyards as far as the eye can see to the snowcapped Pyrenees. Moorings in ancient canal side villages, visits to historic Cathar hilltop towns, Narbonne (Roman capital), and Medieval Carcassonne ensure an unforgettable holiday.
