About the host
Hosted by Howard Davies
Businessman with companies running canal boats in the UK as well as France. Fell in love with this region in 2003 when purchased Minervois Cruisers.
Why they chose this property
Purchased property to include as part of the French business, offering boating customers accommodation before or after boat hire period. Have subsequently enjoyed staying in this area many times as the property is very well located for all the attractions of the Languedoc and surrounding areas.
What makes this property unique
As a part of a family business the property is next door to my eldest daughter who runs the boating operation for Minervois Cruisers in Le Somail, so always a friendly face nearby to help.
