Explore Alsace-Lorraine on Barge Trips Through France


 
Travel & Tourism
For anyone looking for a ‘slow travel’ kind of holiday that doesn’t compromise on comfort, luxury or any of the culture and history associated with Europe, barge trips through France provide an experience like no other. There are plenty of itineraries from which to choose, and one that comes highly recommended from those in the know who return to barge cruising year after year is one that takes you to the lovely region of Alsace-Lorraine.

Cruise Alsace-Lorraine

This lovely part of the world is truly unique in its heritage, being heavily influenced by both France and Germany. But far from being culturally confused, it has embraced the customs of both – something you’ll experience through its food, wine, art and architecture. A popular region for barge trips through France, a relaxed itinerary offers a wonderful chance to get to know this delightful place at a pace that makes you feel absolutely at home.

Here are some of the highlights you’ll get to enjoy.

Strasbourg

The charming capital of the region has a lovely old-world ambience, with tranquil canals and cute cobble-stoned streets. It is packed to the brim with museums and galleries that tell the story of its 2,000-year history, but its magnificent, can’t-be-missed centrepiece is the stunning Cathedral of Notre Dame (no, not that one). Taking centuries to build and encompassing a range of different architectural styles, the cathedral is humbling in both its size and beauty and it’s renowned as one of the spectacular in Europe. Tip: If you climb to the top of the tower you’ll get spectacular views over the city and surrounding landscape.

Route des Vins d’Alsace

The most prolific and famous product of Alsace is, of course, its wine. There are more than 100 towns along the Route des Vins, many of which you’ll pass on one of these barge trips through France. As well as getting a chance to see some of the more than 300 castles (although many are ruins, there are around 100 that are open to the public) that dot the landscape, you’ll be able to visit a host of vineyards and have tastings of familiar names like Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, Riesling, Pinot Blanc and Muscat.

Sarrebourg

Situated in the Moselle department (Lorraine), the elegant city of Sarrebourg is nestled in the Vosges Mountains. Its position on the River Sarre makes it a popular stop on the itinerary of local barge trips through France, and the chance to disembark and explore is one that really shouldn’t be missed. There is an excellent museum - Musée du Pays de Sarrebourg - which, for those with an interest in history, is a must-see to learn more about the area and view some excellent archaeological displays. But the real star of the show is the thirteenth-century Chapelle des Cordeliers, with its spectacular stained glass windows and artwork by the famous Marc Chagall. Barge Trips Through France in Alsace-Lorraine Cruising along the waterways in this part of the world encompasses rolling vineyards, impressive architecture, and a deep, storied heritage of an area that’s seen a host of conflicts over the centuries. With its intrinsic French and German influences it’s a genuinely unique place, as well as being extremely picturesque – made all the more accessible and enjoyable by this magical and memorable mode of travel.
