Discover splendid scenery,
pretty medieval villages and a truly multicultural atmosphere as you
cruise the waterways of Alsace in north eastern France, Luxembourg and
Germany. Framed by the pine trees of the Black Forest and the blue-tinted Vosges mountains, this culturally unique region has a distinctly cosmopolitan feel and offers superb cruising to suit all tastes. The tiny French region of Alsace is as wonderful as the art and architecture of its cities. Follow the network of graceful rivers and canals to the delightful cities of Nancy, Metz, Lutzelbourg and Strasbourg, where storks’ nests perch high on the chimney tops and window boxes of geraniums provide vivid splashes of colour. |
| Stop for refreshments en route at ancient timber-framed
‘Auberges’ and enjoy the region’s famous light, refreshing wines and
beers and distinctive cuisine – there are more Michelin starred
restaurants here than anywhere else in France. From its vantage point overlooking the valleys below, Metz on the river Moselle is well worth visiting; its cathedral’s stunning stained glass windows have earned it the name ‘God’s Lantern’. |

 |
Strasbourg is a delightful mix of old and
new, its magnificent cathedral, cobbled streets and 19th century
mansions sit comfortably next to the many modern-day buildings
befitting a city that is home to the European parliament. Over the German border, enjoy carefree cruising in the naturally beautiful region of Saarland and soak up the laid-back atmosphere and pavement café culture of its cosmopolitan capital, Saarbrücken. |
