Mr Fidelman, Charter of 8, L'Art de Vivre, 27th July 2003
This has been a fabulous experience, for all senses.
The crew were outstanding, the facilities and planning practically perfection.
Thanks so much. Au revoir, j'espere.
Mr. P Richardson, L'Art de Vivre, June 22nd 2003
Dear Sir
I would like to compliment European Waterways on the excellent standard of our holiday.
The facilities on board were excellent, as were the food and wine, but what really made the holiday was the crew - Martin, Dean, Rachel and Dordie. Their attentiveness and cheerfulness were outstanding and everything we could possible have wanted was anticipated in advance.
As I had to put our party of eight together and made the arrangements I was apprehensive at the outset that the trip would not live up to our high expectations, but it was evident from the start that these expectations were being exceeded.
Congratulations on your high standards and many thanks for a most memorable holiday.
Yours faithfully
Mr P A C Richardson (from Edinburgh, UK)
The Smiths - L'Art de Vivre July, 2002
On July 21 we started our one week adventure with friends on the
L'Art de Vivre. It was a wonderful vacation with a great crew.
I wanted to tell you how much we appreciated the crew, Ian Taylor,
Dean Savage, Paula Woodard and Damon Rubery. Not only did they
provide us with excellent service but they were a delight to
be with and share the experience
Paula was great at making
us feel comfortable and even a bit pampered. The lunches and
dinners that Damon prepared for us were outstanding. We were
impressed with Dean's skills in getting us through the locks
but even more impressed with his skill in relating to us particularly
the evening he took us to dinner
Ian was a wonderful captain
but it was his efforts to educate and inform us on the history
and culture of the area that was most appreciated. In every
way they made this a wonderful vacation for all of us
I will always remember the shared laughter, the presentation of our
wine, cheese and meals, the shared appeciations of the French
countryside and so much more
Thanks for making this a special holiday!!!!"
