Your Hostess
I'm Julie, happy owner of this barge and world-travelling nurse!
Cognac Mademoiselle is my pied-à-terre, or rather, my pied-sur-l'eau, my little nest when I come home to my family and friends, in this magnificent town of Cognac where I was born and grew up.
It goes without saying that I want you to enjoy this unique setting while I am away, so I hope you'll find all the comforts you need and appreciate the beauty and calm of the banks of the Charente.
Enjoy your stay on the water!
