Glide from the sparkling lights of Paris to the lush vineyards of Champagne on the "Champagne and Paris by Bike and Barge" tour, a unique 8-day self-guided bicycle trip crafted for seasoned travelers and seniors. This private journey blends gentle cycling with the comfort of a well-appointed barge, taking you through the Marne River Valley, the iconic city of Paris, and into the heart of Champagne. Along the way, sample Brie in Meaux, visit the historic Château-Thierry, and tour Epernay’s legendary Champagne houses including Moët & Chandon.
Riding alongside an expert guide, you’ll pedal past rolling vineyards, charming villages, and sites of World War I significance. The moderate activity level allows for easy exploration, with plenty of time to relax and enjoy the riverside scenery from your barge. At each stop, local producers offer tastings of their finest wines, showcasing the region’s proud traditions.
What sets this tour package apart is the harmonious blend of active cycling and leisurely river cruising, offering travelers exclusive access to both the famed Champagne region and the cultural heart of France.
What a wonderful e-bike and barge tour from Paris to Epernay. Highly recommend. The conduct of this tour was professional in every way. The scenery so beautiful, the guides so knowledgeable and expert in their roles and the Zwaantze barge itself a wonderful barge to call home for such a tour ably managed by the captain Bart and his team. We loved the experience. Also second tour we have been on the Zwaantze as we did the Bruges to Amsterdam bike and Barge tour in 2018. These tours are wonderful ways to travel and enjoy being active at the same time.
