Upper Seine cruise
Your charming boutique barge Johanna will take you from Evry on the Seine to Montargis along the Canal du Loing.
An equally beautiful scenic route, you will visit towns such as Melun, Moret-sur-Loing, Nemours, and Château-Landon. Since this route takes us partly on the mighty river Seine, you will experience the busy port of St. Mammes with huge laden commercial barges passing through.
Our moorings along the Canal du Loing are peaceful and rural with plenty of opportunities to walk, bike or simply relax.
Come and join us. Savor the food and wine, and relax while discovering a truly enchanting countryside.
