By following these tips for your first houseboat rental in Charente, you're guaranteed to have an unforgettable experience!

When you rent a houseboat in Charente, you are likely to pass through locks, a crucial part of navigation. Here's how it typically works:

  1. Preparing the Crew: Ensure that everyone on board understands safety guidelines and assign specific roles (helmsman, line handler, etc.) to avoid accidents and ensure everyone's safety.
  2. Signaling to the Lock Keeper: Depending on the lock, signal your intention to the lock keeper to enter.
  3. Entering Slowly: It's recommended to enter the lock slowly to prevent any damage to the boat.
  4. Proper Positioning: Make sure to leave enough space for other boats while entering the lock. If you are alone, position yourself in the center.
  5. Mooring in the Lock Without Knots: Secure the boat to the lock bollards at the front and rear without tying knots.
  6. Beware of Swirls: When the lock is being filled or emptied, pay attention to the swirls, especially near the gates, to ensure everyone's safety.
  7. Letting Out the Mooring Lines While Holding Firmly: It's essential to hold the boat firmly with the mooring lines as it rises or falls in the lock. Do not tie knots on the cleat.
  8. Do Not Use Your Hands: It's recommended not to touch the mooring lines or the cleat with your hands or feet. Use tools such as boat hooks for handling.
  9. Wait for the Gates to Be Fully Open: You must wait for the lock gates to be fully open before departing to avoid any risk.

Lock keepers are there to assist boaters in safely navigating locks. They ensure that priority rules are followed and provide guidance to users as needed. It's important to carefully follow their instructions.

The choice of the rental period for a houseboat in Charente depends on various factors, including personal preferences. Here are some points to consider:

  • High Tourist Season: In Charente, the busiest tourist season typically runs from late June to late August, when pleasant weather and school holidays attract many visitors. If you wish to rent a houseboat during this period, be aware that the canals can be busier.
  • Low Season: For a quieter experience and lower rental rates, consider renting a houseboat in Charente during the shoulder seasons, such as spring or autumn. The autumn colors offer beautiful landscapes.
  • Local Events: Check out local events like festivals or markets to enhance your houseboat rental experience in Charente. Many of these events take place during the tourist season.

By Car: To reach your houseboat rental in Charente, you can take the highway and park your car near your departure base. Alternatively, you can pre-book a parking space at your departure base.

By Train: You can access your departure base in Charente by taking the train. The railway network is well-developed in this region of France.

By Plane: If you want to save time and quickly reach your houseboat rental in Charente, taking a flight can be a good option. You can choose a flight to the nearest airport to your destination and then rent a car or use public transportation to reach your location.
