Waterways of France

  France and holidays on the French waterways.  


Cruising through France.

Central France

Burgundy
in
can offer the Canal du Nivernais, often described as the most beautiful canal in France and, further south, the gently flowing River Saone.
In Champagne, the River Marne meanders past vineyard cloaked hills. Chablis, Beaujolais and Champagne, three of the most famous and distinctive wines in the world are to be found along the waterways, together with a multitude of lesser known wines all waiting to be discovered.

The towns and cities of the region are no less famous: Reims, Epernay, Meaux, Dijon, Macon and Auxerre are all steeped in history and each worth visiting in their own right. Alsace Lorraine, with its many cultural traditions, makes a refreshing change, not only for its German influenced food and wines, but also for its characteristic countryside and multitude of lakes. It is also rich in history with Gallo-Roman remains, forts, cathedrals and many monuments to man's engineering ingenuity.

West Region

Anjou is graced by three rivers: L'Oudon, La Mayenne and La Sarthe, all tributuaries of the mighty river Loire. Each of these three has its own hidden secrets and unique beauty as they drift through towns whose ancient facades tumble down to the river's edge.
