Barge holidays in France are a popular way to see some of the
most beautiful and interesting regions of the country. France has many
stunning regions to discover, but do yourself a favour and get off the
roads and onto the canals and rivers to see the very best of it. Here
are four regions that offer visitors an amazing way to see this country
from its waterways.
Burgundy
Burgundy is famous throughout
the world for its wine. You will find some of the best wines in the
world here, spread out over 60,000 acres of vines. Travel through the
heart of the vineyard country on a barge and stop off to enjoy a red or
white, perhaps accompanied by one of the delicious cheeses of the
region. Travel along the Burgundy Canal at a leisurely pace, and you
will experience beautiful canals, picturesque medieval towns and tiny
villages in the same day.
Loire Valley
Journey along the
River Cher, in the Loire Valley, to discover one of the most beautiful
regions of the country. This river has been used to carry people and
cargo for centuries, since before the time of the Romans, and the
so-called Valley of the Kings is a wonder to explore. The scenery is
incredibly beautiful and you will pass through ancient villages and
explore colourful markets as you stop off at various locations along the
way.
The cheese and wine of the region is famous, and private
tastings are a great way to experience them for yourself. With
attractions including the Chateau de Chenonceau and the Villandry
Gardens, there is plenty to keep you busy.
Bordeaux
Bordeaux
is another famous wine region that you can discover as you explore the
Canal de Garonne. The beautiful natural scenery will keep you
entertained for days, and with medieval towns and attractions like the
Château de Duras, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Saint Emilion and
the medieval village of Vianne, you have plenty to see along the way on
barge holidays in France in this region.
