Day 1: Paris – Lagny-sur-Marne
Embarkation and check-in at 2 p.m. near the Seine. After a welcome by the captain, the crew and the tour guide, you will travel by boat through Paris to Lagny-sur-Marne, which is located directly on the city limits. After dinner, there will be time to explore the town.

Day 2: Lagny-sur-Marne, approx. 22-42 km
After a morning bike fitting, you set off on your first cycle tour along the Marne. You can choose between the route that follows the course of the river and a slightly more challenging route. You will pass the Château de Champs-sur-Marne and cycle through its surrounding gardens. The château is characteristic of the vacation residences built in the countryside in the 18th century.

Day 3: Lagny-sur-Marne – Meaux, approx. 22-42 km
There are two options from Lagny-sur-Marne: if you opt for the short ride, the first challenge is the climb near Chalifert. The boat goes through the mountain tunnel, while cyclists tackle this hill by bike. The first part of the longer option is also quite hilly, as you have to leave the Marne valley. Later, you follow the small Canal de l’Ourq. Today’s destination is Meaux, which is famous for its “Brie de Meaux” cheese and the magnificent St. Etienne Cathedral.

Day 4: Meaux – La Ferté-sous-Jouarre, approx. 27 - 52 km
After breakfast, your bike ride begins through the center of Meaux. Today’s short route runs over the hills and slopes of the Marne Valley, through groves and small towns on the southern banks of the river. The longer bike ride stays in the river valley in the morning and passes through Trilport and Lizy-sur-Ourcq. Later, you will ride up several slopes and leave the valley towards Jouarre. There you can taste the famous Brie de Meaux and black Brie cheese during a visit to the small family-run Fromagerie Ganot (guided tour and tasting included). Dinner on board and overnight in nearby La-Ferté-sous-Jouarre or another nearby village.

Day 5: La-Ferté-sous-Jouarre – Château-Thierry, approx. 40 - 44 km
The first part of the tour leads along the Marne river. After a few kilometers you will take a side valley and ride along country roads and the Ru de Bouillons river, through small villages and along ponds until you finally reach the plateau above the northern part of the Marne valley. Follow the valley of the small river Clignon to the descent to Château Thierry.

Day 6: Château-Thierry – Dormans – Epernay, about 35 - 50 km
Also today there is the possibility to do a longer or a shorter bike tour. During breakfast, the boat will sail to the lock at Mont St. Pierre or a little further to Dormans. Here you will reach the official Champagne area. The ride up to the northern valley slopes to the village of Châtillon-sur-Marne rewards the athletic cyclist with breathtaking views of the vast Marne Valley and the Champagne vineyards. Today there is no dinner on board, you can individually visit one of the many nice restaurants in town.

Day 7: Round trip Epernay, approx. 19 - 26 km
The last bike ride takes you along the quiet canal parallel to the Marne to Ay and Mareuil-sur Ay back via Dizy to visit Hautvillers. Next destination is Reims. Together with Reims, Epernay forms the wine center of the Champagne region. A visit to a champagne cellar with tasting in one of the famous champagne houses is of course essential.

Day 8: Epernay
Disembarkation around 9.30 am after breakfast and individual departure or extension in Epernay.
