One of our favourite holidays, of all time, is sailing on the canals of France, and none better than sailing with Le Boat France in their fleet of Horizon 2S boats. Years ago when our two boys were young their favourite holidays were sailing in France. Three years in a row we traversed the waterways of the Loire, the Burgundy, and Brittany regions. A perfect holiday for all the family to enjoy.
When we ask our boys now what was the best holiday ever, they both say, cruising down the canals. The highlight for the boys was also visiting the Castles of the Loire , so majestic and jaw-dropping and so many to choose from. Not only did we see them as we sailed along the canals but after our adventure, we visited quite a few of them.

Now, more of what to expect on life on the canals. The smell of freshly cut grass drifts our way. The French countryside comes alive with colours and sounds, it is such a beautiful country.
The silence is deafening, there is hardly a ripple on the water or movement in the sky. The hot scorching summer sun is at its peak. Life is peaceful on the waterways. We are impressed with the outside layout of the Horizon, giving us ample space to either sit at the table or relax on the sun lounges under the canopy or their bright blue Le Boat umbrellas.
