Meet The Captain Of Renaissance

French Hotel Barge Renaissance – Meet The Captain

Hadrien Famy

Hadrien
is a Parisian with a love and innate understanding of all things
French. He spent two years working in Australia but his passion for
travel was not alleviated. Upon his return to France he was excited at
the prospect of rediscovering his native country through the historical
canal system.

His first season was spent as a deckhand
aboard the French Hotel Barge L’Impressionniste where he literally
learned the ropes. From there he joined the barge Renaissance which he
will be returning for his sixth season (2019) as Captain.
