History
Alouette was built in 1908 at
Ouderkeek in the Netherlands. Whilst used as a cargo barge, she
was first named ‘Cura’ and, later, ‘Mars’. In 1986 - 1987, she
was converted into a luxurious passenger-carrying barge and was
re-named Alouette.
Alouette is a Luxemotor type of barge and is 30,48 metres in
length and 4,85 metres beam, the only boat in the Afloat in France
fleet that can navigate the Canal du Midi. This is a
well-appointed boat with all cabins well above the water line.
