DISCOVER CANAL BOAT RENTAL ACTIVITIES IN THE ALSACE LORRAINE REGION Boats available for rental Enjoy taking your canal or cruise boat rental on the Canal des Houilleres de la Sarre and the Marne to Rhine Canal from Mittersheim, 22 kms from Sarreboug (SNCF railway station; if you have time see the Marc Chagall largest stainglass window at Chapel de Cordeliers) and then 60 mins from Strasbourg. Explore this incredibly historical, natural, and gastronomically rich area, with many canal side villages with their restaurants, markets, and unique histories. Take the lovely Canal des Houilleres de la Sarre passsing through the lovely Parc Regional de Lorraine, with beautiful lakes, fishing, wild life, to the villages of Sarralbe that was fortified in the 12th century, to Sarreguemines, busy trading center with its world famous faience and museum. Follow the Canal de la Marne au Rhin via the pretty villages of Gondrexange (fishing), Einville au Jard (home to the dukes of Lorraine and see Les Salines where they mine rock salt), to Nancy. Nancy has a magnificent main square (UNESCO lauded) - Place Stanislas (named after a King of Poland who made Nancy his home), wonderful art nouveau in architecture and glass - go to the Musee de l'ecole de Nancy) and Villa Majorelle. Go all the way to Strasbourg almost to the Rhine. Pass through Niderviller, and see its famous pottery looking at ceramics on show. Then taking tunnels under the Vosges mountains, experience the Saint Louis Arzviller boat lift "Le plan incliné", sliding down or up the side of hill (nearly 150 feet), which replaced 17 locks in 1969. Afterwards visit Lutzelbourg, with a picturesque ruined chateau on the hill above. Then onto Saverne with its red sandstone chateau - the Alsace Versailles - Chateau de Rohan - which even stunned Goethe! Getting thirsty? The next village of Hochvelden was brewing beer in 870 AD - and you can participate in the tradition by visiting the brewery of Meteor Beer. The canal continues through beautiful country and canal villages to Strasbourg with its modern European Parliament buildings, its "Petite France" riverside district, and the grand Notre Dame Cathedral with an enchanting spire.
