Very pleasant barge, functional and complete layout. The Octopus is also very well located, it is the penultimate in a line of a dozen barges and moored at a level where the Jouy canal is wide, which opens up the panoramic view and accentuates the tranquility... Samuel is very welcoming and we feel really good in his sailor's cabin !
