Barges by Country and Region: Alsace & Lorraine


The bucolic landscape of the Lorraine region, with its rolling hills and miles of navigable rivers and waterways, will keep your interest at its peak. Nancy, the cultural center of Lorraine, has a spectacular city center which contains some of the most splendid 18th century architecture outside Paris. In Alsace, Strasbourg's city center features a breathtaking pink sandstone cathedral and the charming medieval riverside quarter called Petite France.

Along the way, you'll experience the famous Arzviller barge lift, known as the "bathtub lock" as it carries your vessel up the mountainside, bypassing 17 locks in the process. You can also visit the captivating fairytale town of Colmar, birthplace of Bartholdi, sculptor of the Statue of Liberty.

What would a visit to these regions be without sampling some of the most famous of the delicacies from the area including choucroute, sauerkraut, and of course, quiche Lorraine. Don't miss a degustation, or wine tasting, at Riquewihr, the epitome of an Alsatian wine village.
