Champagne, Paris and the Marne with France Passion Plaisance

paris en houseboat

From your departure base at la Ferté sous Jouarre, your cruise will be along the Marne river, a charming winding waterway lined with fine summer houses and of course the vineyards of Champagne near to Epernay.

With three centuries of tradition, the winemakers of Champagne work to strict rules, hand harvesting, vines kept short, strict limits to the quantity per hectare etc. When visiting a vineyard, the vigneron will speak proudly of this tradition, and you can test the result for yourselves.

The Marne also evokes tragic times, and we particularly recommend a taxi ride from Chateau Thierry up to the beautifully maintained American Cemetery overlooking the whole valley.
