Take the road less travelled

When the barge moors at a scenic spot in the French countryside, you’ll be able to hop onto your bike and explore wild and quirky places you would have never noticed whizzing by in a car. Bike through the ancient forests behind the magnificent castle of Fontainbleau, emerge in the inspiring artists’ village of Barbizon, or enjoy touring the wild Camargue landscape replete with bulls and horses. Take the time to smell the wild roses, or dangle your legs in a cool canal.

Embrace the decadence of French cuisine

On our barge tours, you can enjoy French food and wine right at the source. Chat with a local farmer as you drink a chilled glass of bubbly gold in the beautiful Champagne region or sample some decadent gooey Brie cheese in the city of Meaux. If a crisp cider is your thing, you’ll be spoiled for choice in Northern Burgundy.

Soak up the rich history and culture of France

Our French barge tours allow you to immerse yourself in the ancient history and culture of France. Explore cities like Bordeaux and discover why it is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Or soak up art and culture in Auxurre and Joigny. Visit the battlefields in the Somme Valley or the medieval fortress of Aigues Mortes.
