The
Tango
| Tango,
built in 1931, initially navigated on the canals of
North Eastern France. In the 1950's she sailed South
and was shortened to 100 feet to fit the Canal du Midi
to transport grain between the Atlantic and Mediterranean
ports. Commercial barging ceased in the 1970's, when
Tango was retired in a small canal-side village. French
born Tango Captain, Daniel Sak, had seen the barge abandoned
as a child when navigating with his mother and always
said it would be the only barge he would ever want to
own. In the year 2000 that dream came true, now he has
lovingly converted her into a deluxe charter barge for
up to six guests. |

Daniel
continues the family tradition of excellence in barging,
an
experienced pilot, he also oversees the culinary details
of your cruise, selects the wines, and makes sure the
overall experience of your week on board more than meets
your expectations. |

| Tango's
décor is a delight in all its details. Large
opening brass portholes throughout the vessel and opening
skylights provide fresh circulating air and light. French
art deco fixtures, provencal ivory linens, and rich
teak wall panelling recreate an atmosphere of the 1930's
French passenger liners. Up on deck, two terraces provide
alfresco dining and a sundeck with hot tub. Here on
the right is the large salon with yellow leather sofas,
bar and dining room. |

| Comfortable
cabins with ensuite baths can be made up with twin or
Queen beds. The Van Gogh cabin, pictured here, is one
of the most spacious cabins on the Canal du Midi. All
cabins on Tango can be made up with twin or queen beds. |

| One
of the great attractions of Fandango and Tango are the
hand made tiles throughout all the cabin's baths. Designed
by Alain Vagh of Salernes, the baths are stunning to
look at as well as functional. |
