In Alsace we offer three cruiser boat bases and a penichette barge base on a network of rivers and canals to towns such as Strasbourg, a World Heritage city, Metz, Nancy and Saarbrucken. A circle route into Germany may require a licence.
Our penichette barge base in Ardennes allows one way cruises through the forests, home to wild-boar, deer and rare birds, and along the River Meuse into Belgium.
