Discover France by bike and boat – a country that is perfect for enjoyable travel. Between the Rhine and Rhône, between Burgundy, Alsace and Île-de-France, a panorama of history, wine and joie de vivre unfolds. Sometimes you glide through quiet canals between vineyards and old lock keeper's houses, sometimes you follow the mighty Rhine to the heart of Alsace.

The region around Strasbourg combines French savoir-vivre with German cosiness: half-timbered houses, cathedrals and tarte flambée are just as much at home here as fine wines from the Ortenau region. On the stages through Burgundy, you will experience the original France – small villages with cobbled streets, Romanesque churches, fragrant markets and wines that have made history. A little further north, the Seine accompanies you towards Paris: past royal castles, old artists' villages and through landscapes that inspired painters such as Sisley and Monet.

Travelling through France means taking your time – to enjoy, to discover, to breathe deeply. Our bike and boat tours take you to the most beautiful river landscapes and cultural highlights of the country. Whether following in the footsteps of the French art of living in Burgundy, along the Rhine to Strasbourg or on the way to the City of Lights – every tour is a rendezvous with the real France.

Half-timbered houses, wine and French joie de vivre

Between Mainz and Strasbourg, a landscape full of contrasts unfolds: vineyards, floodplain forests, castles and cathedrals line the route along the Rhine and Neckar rivers. This is where German history and French lifestyle meet – cathedral cities, baroque palaces and Rhine romanticism combine with Alsatian flair.

In Strasbourg, where the canals of the Ill branch out, the most beautiful finale awaits: the imposing cathedral, the picturesque tanners' quarter ‘Petite France’ and the fine cuisine of Baeckeoffe, tarte flambée and Riesling. This bike and boat trip combines exercise, culture and enjoyment in a unique way – a river experience between the Rhine and France that will remain in your memory.

In the footsteps of royalty to Paris

In the heart of France, follow the course of the Seine – from Montargis to the capital. This region is rich in history and romance: elegant castles such as Fontainebleau, dreamy artists' villages such as Barbizon or Moret-sur-Loing, and tranquil river landscapes reflected in the evening light.

Here, France reveals itself in all its diversity: regal, creative and enjoyable. At the end of the journey, you can discover Paris – the ‘City of Lights’ with its boulevards, bridges and cafés as a glittering highlight.
A bike and boat trip through the Seine Valley is a tribute to classic France – full of culture, movement and atmosphere.
