Heritage, gastronomy and activities await you there. You can then set sail again towards Nancy.
Along the canal, you will pass through numerous riverside villages. Don't wait to get ashore and visit these unusual places and taste their culinary specialities ! Depending on your wishes and your budget, you can choose to book a boat for a day, a weekend or even one or two weeks.
