A cruise to Alsace Lorraine’s most prestigious sites

Here, as with every­where else in France, the water­way her­itage is very much part of the charm of water­way tourism. You’ll also be able to enjoy a whole host of oth­er plea­sur­able activ­i­ties dur­ing your cruise, for exam­ple the chance to take a break on an ATB bike ride, fol­low­ing your house­boat along the tow­paths. In addi­tion to the wealth of human genius to dis­cov­er as you nav­i­gate the Canal de la Sarre – tes­ti­mo­ny to the region’s great indus­tri­al saga – there are also many his­tor­i­cal trea­sures. You’re sure to nav­i­gate your way to the Alsa­t­ian cap­i­tal : Stras­bourg. Notre Dame cathe­dral is one of the key sites to vis­it dur­ing your time in the city – the mag­nif­i­cence of its Goth­ic art can­not fail to amaze you. Don’t miss Kam­merzell House, the cov­ered bridges and half-tim­bered build­ings, and lose your­self in a city with­in the city, built on the water : Petite France.

You can also dis­cov­er cruis­ing in the Ardennes from Pont-à-Bar.
