Cruising holidays in France

The largest boating region in the Crown Blue Line range, cruising on the rivers and canals through France is a superb way in which to discover this beautiful area. From boating on the Breton waterways, which are steeped in history to the Midi with its stunning sunshine and sparkling waters, there is a region to please everyone.

France is steeped in history - castles and regal looking buildings simply emerge from the landscape as your boating holiday takes you through the heart of the region.

Whether you're on holiday for a short break, week or even longer, you'll find the local people very welcoming and friendly. Many are more than happy to celebrate their ancient customs with you and often you will be lucky enough to take part in their festivities.

Flower adorned locks and winding wooded valleys can be found on this landscape, where nature simply flourishes. These beautiful boating regions are best enjoyed from the deck of your motor cruiser.

Travelling down to the South of France you find the stunning landscapes and sparkling waters of the Midi and the Camargue. Here you can relax in the area’s balmy climate and enjoy the taste of the Mediterranean through the region’s gastronomic delights.

A fishing licence is necessary in France, but these are easily obtained from numerous fishing shops that can be found in towns and villages along the canals. Once this has been obtained you can join in this popular activity whilst river cruising and cast off and meet new friends along the banks.
