“A calm, peaceful, and original concept. It feels like driving a vintage 1960s toy on the water. I had the James Bond boat, a cool experience in Alsace!”
“It's a great introduction to driving a boat! Even my 5-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter were able to take the wheel. The owner is super friendly. He explains everything you need to know and doesn't rush you. A great activity with family and friends”
Our 6 reasons to choose Saverne and its region for your holiday in Alsace!
1 - Saverne takes you for a (boat) ride
Did you know? Saverne is the top spot in Alsace for a river cruise. It's simple: with its marina just five minutes from the city centre and boats for hire just a few steps from the train station, it's easy to set sail! Get ready for a cruise along the calm waters of the Marne-Rhine Canal and through the flowery locks along the way.
2 - Saverne is intensely rejuvenating
There are more ways than renting a boat to recharge your batteries in Saverne! Before setting off on a cruise, head to the nearby Northern Vosges Regional Nature Park for an impromptu forest therapy session. Hug the spruces and larch trees to soak up their comforting energy. Resinous kisses aren’t your thing? The Vosges Park and the Pays de Saverne are great spots in Alsace for lovers of outdoor activities and are recognised as a World Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO. A nice warm-up before putting on your captain’s hat!
3 - Saverne through rose-tinted glasses
Stop and smell the roses during your holiday in Alsace with a visit to the town known as the City of Roses. Follow an itinerary through town and nature: visit the delicate rose garden of the unique botanical garden, take a stroll through the monastic garden of the Recollets Cloister, and see the unusual Alpine garden at the cave of Saint-Vit. Testaments to the love the people of Saverne have for the natural heritage of their region.
4 - Saverne is like a box of chocolates…
You never know what you're going to get! With rose-flavoured specialties*, praline creations, and fleur de sel chocolate bars, the town’s many chocolatiers outdo each other with new and creative ways to delight your taste buds. These mouth-watering treats make a delicious souvenir of Alsace to bring back to those who weren't lucky enough to make the trip.
