boating holidays in France

Hi, we want to do one of these this year, any ideas for good websites to book one through?
we have looked at Belle France but are there any other good ones?

Have a look at https://www.blakes.co.uk and https://www.hoseasons.co.uk

Have you googled for any more?

https://www.Crownblueline.com Excellent value and service. If you book one of the newer boats they're very good too.

I doubt you'd be disappointed no matter where you go, but we've been to Burgundy with them on a one way cruise and enjoyed it very much. It's best if you go with another family and get a bigger boat.

For Burgundy, we flew to Paris then took a TGV down to Dijon (direct from CDG). Used a local train to get to the first base the next day and then took a daxi back to Dijon at the end. Dijon's a great town and well connected with the train network.

It's also worth considering how many locks you'll encounter, you don't want to be stuck in them all day, so Alsace might not be the best. Also think about temperature if you're planning on ging to the South, it would be unbearably hot.
