Alsace-Lorraine
Your Alsace-Lorraine cruise is a study in contrasts. Alsace, bordered by the Vosges Mountains and the Black Forest of Germany, offers the visitor magnificent forests and spectacular mountain scenery. In Lorraine, cruise through the serene landscapes of rolling hills, punctuated with beautiful fortified Medieval towns and citadels. There is a great deal to see, do and taste in this area which has been variously owned by France and Germany over many centuries.
The major canal is the Marne au Rhin which offers barge travel between Nancy and Strasbourg. Even the cruising here is more fascinating than on most canals. Besides tunneling right through the Vosges Mountains, your barge will be carried up or down 150 feet in twenty minutes on the spectacular Arzvillier hydraulic lift! Feeling thirsty? Beer has been brewed in Alsace for hundreds of years, while Alsatian white wines are world famous. As a barge guest, you will be taken to one of the flower-bedecked wine villages for a tasting.
There is an incredible variety of excursions, both to larger towns and to the small and colorful half-timbered villages which line the canal. Your Alsace-Lorraine cruise may offer sightseeing tours to Strasbourg, an international city with a famed cathedral; shopping for crystal at Baccarat or another area crystal maker; the Marc Chagall stained glass windows at Chapel de Cordeliers; or the gorgeous Art Nouveau square in Nancy.
Alsace-Lorraine cruises can be deluxe or informal. Let us pick the right barge on which to cruise this dynamic area!
