France by Bike and Boat

Traveling by boat and bike in France
Breisach on the Upper Rhine

If you are looking for variety and adventure, a trip by boat and bike through France is the right choice. Floating hotels on the Rhine, the Marne, the Loire, the Garonne, the Dordogne, and the Gironde are ideal for getting to know the diversity of France from a different perspective.

The half-timbered romance of Alsace, lively Paris, and the sparkling wines of Champagne are just some of the highlights of a boat and bike tour through France. And in between? Small, dreamy villages, historic towns, and picturesque vineyards that exude their own special charm. Be curious and turn a trip by boat and bike into a unique experience.

Thanks to the varied French cuisine, a holiday by boat and bike through France is also an experience. Dishes such as Flammekueche or Baeckoeffe from Alsace, onion soup from Paris, tripe sausage from Champagne, tarte Tatin from the Loire, or the Canelé from Bordeaux invite you to try them. A glass of wine to go with it? The wine bars, restaurants, and wine cellars will surely have a good sip or two waiting for you.

France's easternmost region, Alsace, can also be explored by bike and boat. The MS Olympia takes you on a river cruise from Strasbourg to Mainz. Other highlights on your 8-day trip include Heidelberg on the Neckar and the old imperial cities of Worms and Speyer.

Experience the two enchanting landscapes of Provence and Camargue on a trip by bike and boat. Discover the highlights of the regions by bike on leisurely day trips. Follow the scent of the purple lavender fields through the unique landscape of Provence. The Camargue offers a completely different picture: huge alluvial plains in mirror-smooth terrain, wide sandy beaches and salt pans. This is where the famous white wild horses and black bulls feel at home. Discover the historic cities of Avignon and Arles on your journey by bike and boat in Provence and Camargue.
