The Big Wide

AN UNUSUAL STAY, QUIET AND CLOSE TO THE CITY CENTER.

Come and enjoy an unusual stay, in the calm of our barge…

Relaxing on the terrace or cycling?

Ideally located along the Canal de Jouy, the Octopus barge welcomes you to its gite “Le Grand Large”. Located at 10 mins walk from downtown Metz, garden city, you can also reach the Pompidou center in 10 minutes with our bikes (lent for free) and discover all the architectural richness of this city steeped in history…

We fell in love with this barge as much for the location in Metz, for the garden side / nature of the location than by the boat itself!

We have demanding jobs, liberal nurse and professional firefighter but we will always find the time to welcome you!

We will be delighted to make you enjoy our little corner of paradise for a while.…

Typhaine and Samuel.

❄️🍂 Winter here 🍂❄️The cold season takes its course here in Slow Life mode, A very good way to disconnect and offer a beneficial break. The studio is perfectly equipped in summer and winter, Comfort is our priority for you 😊However, provide good shoes to reach the barge from the parking lot ... The path can be a little muddy this season 🙃🫣We want to present our best wishes for this year 2025, profitez de chaque instant, prenez soin de vous et vos proches, soyez heureux ! Samuel et moi avons récemment pris un tournant dans nos carrières professionnelles respectives c'est pour cette raison que nous vous annonçons quelques changements depuis le 1er janvier 2025 : 🥐 nous ne fournissons plus de petit déjeuner lors de votre séjour ; la cuisine du studio est équipée et vous avez à votre disposition plusieurs commerces de proximité pour vos achats 🤝 nous ne serons plus forcément sur place à votre arrivée pour vous accueillir mais pas d'inquiétude : nous sommes joignables à tout moment et toutes les informations nécessaires à votre installation vous seront envoyé. Nous habitons toujours sur place dans notre espace privé, vous ne serez donc pas isolés sur le bateau 😁🗝nous privilégions les séjours de 2 nuits le week-end c'est pour cela que nous avons mis en place une remise de 15% pour 2 nuits consécutives réservées L'essentiel reste inchangé : l'équipement, le confort, le charme du lieu, notre plaisir de vous recevoir ! 💝🥰See you soon on board ! #houseboat #peniche #hebergementinsolite #metz #sejourdetente #weekend #vacation #giteequipé ...
