River cruise on the Meuse to discover Belgium

It’s time to cast off and set off on an adven­ture to dis­cov­er the mag­nif­i­cent Wal­loon region of Namur thanks to a licence free house boat rental from our base in Dinant. You will dis­cov­er the live­ly riv­er La Meuse, with its inhab­it­ed banks, and of course the won­der­ful land­scapes of Wal­lo­nia, between cliffs, hills and sump­tu­ous gar­dens. “Le plat pays” as Brel sang is cer­tain­ly not the right descrip­tion for this cor­ner of south­ern Belgium.

Whether it’s for a week­end, a fam­i­ly hol­i­day or with friends, there is no short­age of activ­i­ties and ideas for vis­its. In one week­end you can trav­el by house boat to the city of Namur for a city break in the cap­i­tal of Wal­lo­nia. Sail­ing the Meuse with a licence free house boat is par­tic­u­lar­ly pop­u­lar with fam­i­lies with chil­dren, who can spend qual­i­ty time togeth­er and enjoy the many out­door sports
activ­i­ties along the way.

Discover the Ardennes with a licence free house boat

After the wide, inhab­it­ed Meuse around the town of Dinant, head south and you will find a nar­row­er, wilder riv­er at the French bor­der, locat­ed in the heart of the Ardennes Region­al Nature Park. After only a short day’s cruis­ing, you will cross the French-Bel­gian bor­der and dis­cov­er a land­scape that is just as breath­tak­ing. You will pass through the small towns of Givet, Ham-sur- Meuse (with its dis­creet canal tun­nel), Revin and the town of Mon­ther­mé. The real stars of this week­end or week-long riv­er cruise are the cliffs and nat­ur­al land­scapes of the Ardennes. Here you will feel com­plete­ly free to enjoy your hol­i­day on a licence free house boat.
A total escape for lovers, fam­i­lies or friends from our Wal­loon house­boat rental base in Dinant, Belgium.
