Boat Bike Tours specialises in immersive multi-day tours that blend cycling with relaxed barge cruising, letting you see France from both land and water in a single holiday. Their France portfolio includes several distinct routes, each designed to showcase different regions and cultural highlights.

One of the signature trips is the Provence – Camargue tour, an eight-day journey through the Rhône Delta and wild southern French landscapes. You’ll cycle through flat country lanes past vineyards, flamingo-filled wetlands and historic towns like Aigues-Mortes and Arles, with the barge moving ahead to new overnight moorings each day.

 

For wine lovers and culture seekers, the Paris – Épernay Champagne tour combines iconic city scenery with the rolling vineyards of Champagne country. Riders enjoy daily cycling legs through quaint villages and past grand châteaux, sampling the region’s famous bubbly along the way.

There’s also an adventurous Bruges – Paris tour linking Belgium and France. This cross-border route threads through rural northern France, past war memorials and river valleys, and finishes in the heart of Paris.

Looking ahead to 2026, a new Somme River boutique barge cruise has been added. This 15-day itinerary explores northern France and Belgium, with guided and self-guided cycling each day amid historic battlefields, waterways and charming towns.

All of these tours share a common structure: moderate daily bike rides (often 30–60 km), expert local guides, delicious regional meals on board and the unique experience of cruising through France on a small, intimate barge every evening.
