Hi we have a high vehicle and are worried about parking
There is no hight limit in the street and surroundings, but free parkins space is VERY limited. Nearest parking lot is at the train station (500m) at 5,50 euro/24h but there is a limited hight of 2m15. Hope this helpsAnswered on 27 September 2022Hi, Are you open for below dates? 29th April to May 1st 2022? I don’t see your pricing as well. Could you please confirm pricing for above dates?
Sorry, we are closed from mid April till somewhere October/November due to our other operations as barge cruise ship in France (see site johannacruises)Answered on 25 February 2022Hey Do you have parking? And is breakfast included? Cheers Rach
Hi Rach, Continental breakfast is included. Free parking is very limited in the street. No problem to come by car to drop off your luggage. I can then show you where parking is available nearby, free or at 5.50 euro/24h. Best, KrisAnswered on 13 December 2021
