Description of
the boating holiday
Hot springs and traditional know-how
Cruising up the Saône Valley by canal boat, you will discover picturesque little villages and the charm of their washing fountains of yesteryear. Near Selles, you will learn all about the tradition of glassblowers and in Fontenoy-le-Château you will see that embroidery remains at the heart of the village's identity. In addition, you can treat yourself to some special wellbeing time with a visit to La Vôge-les-Bain for a relaxing spa session.
A charming village located on the banks of the Saône, Port-sur-Saône is an ideal starting point to discover the wooded landscapes and small villages of the Vosges, cruising you’re your canal boat on the Petite Saône or the Canal des Vosges.
Port-sur-Saône: The church of St Etienne and the Pont de Pierre bridge - both dating back to the 18th century
Fouchécourt: 12th century abbey – Abbaye de Cherlieu, Château de Bougey with its fabulous jazz concerts on sunny days.
Corre: Glassworks and crystal glassworks
Fontenoy-le-Château: Medieval town, Le musée de la Broderie, de la Métallurgie et du Patrimoine with work from 500 embroiderers
Bains-les-Bains: Thermal baths with unique art deco architecture and the tranquility of its surrounding parks.
When you reach Bans-les-Bains and finish exploring, it’s time to make the return leg of your journey, cruising back to the Nicols base at Port-sur-Saône, perhaps revisiting your favourite places.

A holiday to recommend!
We spent a week living to the rhythm of the locks, meals at sunset on the deck of our boat and stops whenever we wanted. This boating holiday left us relaxed and recharged. We’d certainly recommend it to all those who dream of relaxing family holidays!µ
