streams, and the center of power during most of French history.
Cycle and sail

along the Seine, Loing, and other historic waterways. Traveling by bike and
barge affords a most intimate look at a land steeped in legend and tradition,
with fairytale chateaux, humble farmlands, classic French cuisine, and creative
artists’ villages to delight us along the way.
