We meet our Tour Manager and the rest of our group at London St Pancras where our holiday begins. Aboard the Eurostar, we head to Paris and continue by rail to Strasbourg - the capital of the historical region of Alsace. The region is famous for its cuisine and the world-renowned wines from vineyards along the 'Route des Vins', making it a delightful holiday destination. From here, our coach takes us to our barge ship, home for the next seven days.
After dinner, we get the chance to take a panoramic boat ride through the city at night (subject to availability). Sailing through the famous district of Petite France, winding canals, charming houses with coloured, half-timbered walls and narrow alleyways float by. From the river, we see the Tanners Quarter, the Covered Bridges (Ponts Couverts) and the Panoramic Terrace on the Vauban Dam before continuing through the German Quarter.
