How to describe France when it is already so dear to so many hearts, and often considered as the most beautiful country in the world? In fact, there are few countries with such a diversity of cultures, landscapes, art and history.
CroisiEurope offers you a wonderful river cruise in France, with many cruises on all the major French rivers. Each cruise lets discover in depth cultural regions with their traditions, allowing you to experience a rewarding and privileged journey.
It is also an opportunity to discover cities in a new way. How about a stay in Paris, your hotel anchored in front of the Eiffel Tower? Or to see Bordeaux from the Gironde, when your cruise ship leaves the shore?
Going up the Seine, the Rhone, the Rhine or even the Loire, plunge deep into history, visiting areas that have been inspiring generations for centuries. Go to Lyon and learn all about its Roman roots, or visit Honfleur and stroll through Normandy, with its history.
CroisiEurope's river cruises will let you discover France in a new and intimate way, immersing yourself in the greatest traditions of a country that has become a dream destination.
