Wander the waterways and take in the sights and sounds of the Aquitaine region of France at your own pace on a self-drive boating holiday from Le Boat. The area is renowned for its wine and cuisine, so you'll want to make plenty of stops to indulge before setting off again to enjoy the scenery of medieval villages, orchards, and meadows. You don't need any previous boating experience to take this trip - everything will be explained to you by the helpful on-site staff before you set out.
This is the perfect place for a trip if you're looking to savour the local specialities along the way, with delicacies like foie gras, wild mushrooms, and regional cheeses such as Brebio, Etorki or Bleu des Basques. Wine tasting is also a must, with the opportunity to visit the Buzet Wine Cave in Buzet and tour Château Le Courréjot, a producer of Armagnac and Chablis, near Moncrabeau. Every August, the town of Nérac even hosts the Buzet Wine Festival. Of course, there's plenty to do beyond eating and drinking, with the rich heritage of the region to explore. See historic churches, visit local museums, and don't miss out on Castets-en-Dorthe's 12th-century Château du Hamel and Nérac's Château Henry IV.
You choose where your holiday takes you as you explore the area along the Canal Latéral à la Garonne and the River Baïse. Your journey will start out from Le Boat's base in the region, situated in the village of Le Mas-d'Agenais.
