And if you haven't chosen your destination yet, here are a few ideas selected by our team that have already been a big hit with many of our customers and their children.
French regions suitable for a family holiday
If you don't want to leave the country, if you want to travel close to home or visit one of our beautiful regions differently, you can opt for a French destination. In France, many departments and regions are perfectly suited to a family cruise on a barge without a licence.
Brittany: a family destination for river cruises this summer
Amongst them, we recommend Brittany where you will sail between castles, green landscapes, small charming villages and marshes. During your stopovers, you can go for a bike ride with your children to admire all the beauty of Brittany and taste some delicious - and greedy! - specialities, including the famous Breton crêpes.
The Camargue: the ideal destination for a cruise with children
Another dream location for a holiday with children is the Camargue. Here, too, nature offers you a magnificent setting with the added bonus of sunshine and mild, pleasant temperatures. During your trip, you will probably see pink flamingos and horses as the Camargue is a protected nature reserve with a rich and varied fauna and flora.
Alsace: one of the most beautiful river cruises to do this summer
A little further north and east, Alsace is also a great choice for a family river cruise on a barge without a licence. Its colourful houses, its sublime canals crossing picturesque villages, its ponds and its monuments with typical Alsatian architecture will give you wonderful memories. Not forgetting its gastronomy!
Our selection of destinations in Europe appealing to young and old alike
If you prefer to go out of the French territory for your cruise, here are 3 destinations suitable for a family stay on a barge without a rental permit. Scotland first of all, a land of legends with many lakes and castles, and breathtaking scenery. And who knows, your children might even get a chance to see Nessy on a walk around Loch Ness?
Then there's Holland, and in particular the canals of Amsterdam, where you'll get a good look at its superb heritage and visit some museums. Your children will also love the various water activities they can do during their stay, including canoeing.
Finally, you can take a family trip to Ireland and sail on the Shannon. There are old castles and monasteries, architectural remains, stone villages, nature with many lakes and ponds where you can do water activities, and lots of poetry.
