Our News

Throughout the winter, our electric lounge boat "Daphné" takes you on the Tarn for a unique and gentle experience through the extraordinary history and nature of the city of Ingres. And if you're worried about being cold, think again! Everything is done for your comfort: large blankets are provided for you, and hot drinks are offered during the ride. What else?

Various experiences are offered until February 6, 2025:

- the 45-minute Montauban Discovery Cruise : taking place on the Tarn, this trip is ideal for children who can even (if they are good!) pilot the boat a little under the supervision of the Captain who also provides historical and animal commentary. (ticket price: from €5 to €12)

- the 1h30 Montauban History and Nature Cruise : It will satisfy the most curious who will be seduced by the richness of the heritage that will pass before their eyes, and by all the anecdotes told by the Captain throughout this navigation on the Tarn, but also the Tescou! (ticket price: from 6 to 20€)

- the 1h45 Lantern Cruise : on the same route as the Montauban History and Nature Cruise, the Lantern Cruise has decided to take its time to admire the sunset plunging over the Albarèdes. In addition, the Captain will show you archive documents and old photos at different places along the route, taking you back to the ancient times of the navigable Tarn. This cruise can be optionally accompanied by a full cocktail dinner. (ticket price: from €10 to €25, cocktail dinner €30/person, or €55/adult navigation + cocktail dinner and drinks)

- the 30-minute Enchanted Crossing : is an unusual experience to live especially for visitors of the Harry Potter animation, The Forbidden Forest Experience , but also for others. This navigation on the Tescou will allow you to discover this little unknown tributary of the Tarn by crossing in particular a part of the illuminated and sound-proofed Jardin des Plantes... Magic is there! (ticket price: from 4 to 10€)
