On a trip by Bike and Boat on the Seine, you cycle through the heart of France. Your floating hotel – the MS Fleur – always a step ahead. You start your journey on the Loing in the small town of Montargis. After cycling through the medieval towns of Moret-sur-Loing, Ferrières-en-Gâtinais and Château-Landon and marveling at the imposing Fontainebleau Castle, you reach Paris. Experience the vibrancy of the Seine metropolis on a long walk. Relaxation is the order of the day on this trip by Bike and Boat on the Seine. You cycle on mostly flat cycle paths. This trip is suitable for anyone who would like to enjoy the comforts of a river boat and the natural and cultural landscape of France. You have the choice to cycle the tour guided or individually, every day anew.
The starting point alternates between Montargis and Paris. Available dates are shown in the booking form.
Please note that the overnight locations of the two routes differ slightly.
The small MS Fleur was first launched in 2002. Thanks to its slender lines, the passenger ship can also pass through smaller locks and canals. Enjoy breakfast and dinner in the restaurant on the upper deck and marvel at the passing scenery through the large windows. End the evening comfortably in the spacious seating area and enjoy a drink from the ship's own bar. If you're not on your bike, you can also admire the scenery from the sun deck and chat with your fellow passengers.

After embarking at 2 p.m. today, you will be briefed by the ship's crew about safety on board, followed by a welcome drink and dinner. During an evening city tour through the pretty town of Montargis, you will learn more about the town's eventful past.
Your trip by Bike and Boat on the Seine begins with an excursion into the surroundings of Montargis. You will visit the beekeeping museum in Château-Renard and take part in a honey tasting. This is followed by a visit to the ruins of the 10th century castle. As an exception, dinner will not be served on board today. The tour guide will be happy to recommend one of the restaurants in Montargis.
Today, the cycle tour takes you through the forests of Montargis. After a few kilometers you reach Ferrières-en-Gâtinais. Known for its saffron production since the 13th century, the town has a very well-preserved town center. In Égreville, visit a sculpture garden. The garden is dedicated to the artist Antoine Bourdelle and features 56 of his impressive bronze figures. Not far from the Loing, you will spend the night in the rural surroundings of Néronville.
Not far from Néronville, you will reach Château-Landon. The Notre-Dame church can be seen from afar. You visit the St. Séverin Abbey. The castle – now a museum – and the church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste are worth a visit at your destination on the journey by bike and boat on the Seine Nemours. A walk along the small canals in the town center follows the course of the former fortifications.
Today you cycle through the Loing valley via Grez-sur-Loing to the medieval fortified town of Moret-sur-Loing. A picturesque little town, in the truest sense of the word: the English painter Alfred Sisley found plenty of inspiration for his impressionist paintings here. The Notre-Dame church, for example, which you can visit. Or the banks of the Loing, which you reach through the winding alleyways of the old town.
Today you cycle through the forest of Fontainebleau, one of the most beautiful forests in France. In Barbizon, an artists' village, you visit the village museum. A highlight of this stage: Fontainebleau. The town's stately castle complex was once a royal hunting residence and boasts a wealth of art treasures. Today's stage ends in Melun. The town on the Seine is famous for its Brie de Melun, a soft cheese made from raw cow's milk. You can visit the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte a little way from the center of Melun. The opulent castle and gardens are considered an architectural masterpiece. See for yourself!
The last stage of your journey by Bike and Boat on the Seine takes you to Paris today. Before you reach the Seine metropolis, you first cycle to the Évry lock. From there, the MS Fleur will take you into the heart of Paris. Explore the city on your own or take part in an evening city tour. A view from the Eiffel Tower, a walk along the Champs-Élysées or a stroll through the Louvre are just some of the ways to get to know the city of love, light and fashion better.
Your journey by Bike and Boat on the Seine unfortunately ends today. After breakfast, disembarkation takes place by 09.30 a.m. This is followed by your individual departure
