Visit bustling cities and beautiful countryside alike as you explore the canals and waterways of the Alsace-Lorraine region of eastern France on a self-drive boating holiday from Le Boat. Situated on the border with Germany, you can cruise through both countries at your leisure. You won't need any previous experience operating a boat - before you set out, the friendly staff will show you everything you need to know.
The area is rich in history, with the cities of Strasbourg in France and Saarbrücken in Germany both en route for you to explore, with their imposing castles and stunning cathedrals. Don't miss Saarbrucken's Basilica St. Johann or Rohan Palace in Saverne. From busy urban centres to more natural surroundings, the region is also perfect for nature lovers, with thriving forests, rich marshland, and 21 nature reserves in the area (including the Delta de la Sauer). And, if you're looking to indulge, the local cuisine is renowned, with a particular focus on delicious pork-based dishes.
You'll have free reign to explore a tapestry of canals and rivers in the area, crossing the border into Saarbrucken but also offering a variety of other places to explore. You can set out from one of Le Boat's two bases in the area in the villages of Boofzheim and Hesse (the address and location marked on the map below shows Le Boat's base in Hesse).
