Boating Vacations across the canals and rivers of Europe from Le Boat

Douelle Base

Base Manager Anthony Feo welcomes you to Douelle. Douelle and its river are steeped in history, with the most important section between Cahors and Fumel. The river has been used for trading wines and cereals from Cahors since the Middle Ages. Douelle itself was famous for its skilled boatmen and a Gabarra is hung in the local church reminding the locals of its village history.

Our base offers toilets, showers and fresh, hot drinks. There is also free of charge open-air parking and enclosed parking without surveillance is available at 24€ per week.

Le Boat will be happy to arrange transfers from your arrival point to the base and can also do your food and drink shopping to stock up your boat before you arrive.
