The Fandango was built in 1939 specifically to the dimensions of the locks and low stone arch bridges of the Canal du Midi. Abandoned near Bordeaux in the 1970's when highways took over barge freight, owner Hazel Young convinced the Provencal cosmetics company L'Occitane to restore her as the historical flagship of the Canal, and a glamorous floating showroom. Fandango returned to the Midi in 1998 to become a luxurious private charter barge for 4 to 6 passengers |
