Booking system
The booking chart is issued to owners in July, in priority order, 
to make bookings for the following year. 

Owners of “Special Shares” get first priority to book within the 
summer school holiday period only. 

The chart is then issued to the other owners in seniority order 
when they can choose any available three-week block in one year 
or any available two-week block in the alternate years. 

An owner moves from the bottom pair to the top pair over a 6-year period. 

After the annual booking process has been completed owners can request 
additional weeks from any that might be vacant or can swap allocations by 
mutual agreement or “sell” them to fellow owners.
Priority for school holidaysThe boat has two shares designated for school holiday use within the main 
6-week summer holiday. 

The special shareholders pay a premium of 25% on the annual running costs.

((Correct 2023)Only one of these special shares is in use at present 
so it may be possible to swap the share that is currently 
being sold for the vacant special share if this is still available.)

General comments by vendor


Donjeux's home base is the Aquarelle Marina in Auxerre in Burgundy. Located in the northern Burgundy vineyard area the beautiful city has many interesting sites including a cathedral and an abbey, as well as a variety of shops, markets and restaurants. The driving time from Calais is about 4.5 hours. 

There are numerous cruising options from Auxerre - heading northwards down the River Yonne or southwards up the Canal du Nivernais. 

Some owners arrange 'remote handovers' away from Auxerre to extend the cruising range beyond what is possible in two or three weeks e.g. to reach Paris via the Yonne and Seine. 

Some owners take Christmas or New Year breaks onboard, or use the barge as a stop-off when driving to the Alps. 

DONJEUX spent the winter 2018/19 berthed in Paris and was available to all owners for additional weeks.
