Barge holidays and Europa boat holidays from Lutzelbourg
base
 Our
base at Lutzelbourg
provides an Alsatian welcome, with its castle and its famous
crystal workshops.
Whichever way you cruise, half timbered houses with pretty
windowboxes, onion-domed church-towers, intricate wrought-ironwork
and a hundred small details give the villages a festival air.
Wherever you stop, you'll find the food equally special: choucroute
and charcuterie as well as mouthwatering plum and greengage
tarts.
 Cruising
the Canal de la Sarre you pass mainly through
woodland with the odd small town to tempt you with a restaurant
meal. At Sarreguemines you'll be charmed
by the hand-decorated pottery. On your return you'll travel
on the boat lift at Arzviller which replaces
17 locks.
Following the Marne-Rhine Canal you pass through Saverne
with its ducal palace and across the Alsatian plain to the
heart of Strasbourg. At Toul,
a town fortified by Vauban and enjoying fine views over the
loops of the river Moselle, you are entering Lorraine. Its
countryside is just as fine as its cities, of which Nancy
and Metz are the highpoints.
