Fall River Cruise: the ideal activities to practice during your stopovers
In October, our team offers you some cruises in France and Europe. If the heat is not necessarily there, the season is ideal to discover a region, villages because there are fewer people and above all, nature is adorned with magnificent colours. This is the perfect time to visit historic monuments usually taken by storm, to walk in the countryside, in alleys or in the heart of the forest. And above all, there are many activities to do during your stopovers. To help you prepare your trip in a barge or boat without a licence, we present our favourite fall activities. They are accessible to everyone, whether you go with your family, friends or as a couple.
Enjoy nature and beautiful landscapes
At this time of year, it is not too cold and the night does not fall from 5pm. The days are still very beautiful, especially since the colours outside are splendid. The red, orange and yellow leaves mingle with the green of the lawns. And when the sun begins to set, the light embellishes the landscape. If you are a morning person, you may be able to observe the morning mist. A moment full of poetry during which it is pleasant to have a quiet breakfast. During the stops of your river cruise, we also advise you to go for a walk or bike ride in the forest. Depending on the region, you can even pick mushrooms and/or chestnuts. If there are lakes or ponds nearby, let yourself be tempted by some fishing trips. If you've never done one, this is your chance to try it!
Taste local specialities and wines
In addition to outdoor walks to discover nature and landscapes, a cruise on a boat or barge without a permit in the fall is the right time to enjoy yourself. Feel free to have lunch or dinner in restaurants offering regional specialities, walk down the aisles of the markets to bring back some delicacies. Especially since in France, there is no shortage of specialities in the regions! From one place to another, they vary and there is something for everyone. Another French particularity, that we are envied all over the world, is wine. The harvest period is often over and it is possible to visit cellars, estates, meet winegrowers and winegrowers. So if you are interested, don't wait any longer to discover our latest departure dates for October!
