Stay on La Vie En Rose for a peaceful escape on the beautiful Canal du Midi. Enjoy slow days, nature, and charm in medieval Capestang.

This unique narrowboat has a style all its own. Luxuriously restored to a high standard of comfort and living. Watch the world go by as you sip on a glass of wine on the canal.

The space
About the Space
Rosy Boat is a traditional narrowboat, thoughtfully set up for a cosy and relaxing stay on the water. Inside, there’s a small double bed (cosy but comfortable), plus two narrow single beds perfect for children or smaller adults. The bathroom is fully functional, with a hot shower and a proper flushing toilet.

The compact kitchen has a gas hob and a fridge, and the open-plan living area is filled with natural light. At the front of the boat, there’s a little terrace with a table — the perfect spot to sit with a glass of wine and watch the canal drift by.

Please note: this is boat life — charming, a little different, and a chance to slow down and enjoy something truly special.

Guest access
Guests have exclusive use of the entire boat, so you’ll have full privacy throughout your stay. From the cosy indoor spaces to the sunny front terrace, Rosy Boat is all yours to enjoy.

Other things to note
• Life on a narrowboat means space is cozy—please pack lightly and bring soft-soled shoes for onboard comfort.
• The boat is moored in a quiet area but near the village center, so you get peace plus easy access to shops and cafés.
• Water and electricity are limited compared to a house—please be mindful of usage.
• No smoking or pets onboard to keep the boat fresh and welcoming for everyone.
• If you’re new to boat life, don’t worry! I’m happy to share tips to make your stay easy and enjoyable.
• Check-in and check-out times are flexible — just let me know what works best for you.

My work: Artist/Writer

Speaks English, French, and Polish

We are Joji and Barbara — an artist and a writer — who together created La VIe en Rose as a space for guests to enjoy the beauty of the Canal du Midi. Between us, we share a love of creativity, storytelling, and the gentle rhythm of canal life. Our narrowboat, La VIe en Rose, is our way of welcoming others into this world — a place where you can slow down, be inspired, and experience the charm of the Canal du Midi from the water itself.
