Is the e-bike included in the price?

No. The tour is run on e-bikes and the rental is charged separately, and its price is shown on this page. You also cannot bring your own bicycle or e-bike, because there is no space for it on deck. In practice everyone on board rides a rental e-bike, so plan for the rental on top of the tour price.

How hard is the cycling?

Difficulty level 2 on the operator's scale: mostly flat, on river paths and quiet roads. Daily distances on the short route run from 15 to 46 km. On most days the tour leader offers a longer and a shorter option, so you can choose in the morning.

Is the cycling guided?

Yes. A multilingual tour leader cycles with the group every day and explains what you pass. From 18 guests on board the group is split in two, each with its own leader. There are also some short walking tours.

Which meals are on board?

Seven breakfasts, packed lunches for the cycling days and six three-course dinners. On the Paris evening no dinner is served on board, so you eat in the city. Coffee and tea are free on board 24/7; other drinks are charged.

How do I reach the start and get home?

Soissons is about 1 hour 15 minutes by train from Paris Gare du Nord. Lagny-sur-Marne is about 30 minutes from Paris Gare de l'Est. Tickets and timetables are on sncf-connect. Transfers to and from the ship are not part of the tour.

What is the ship like?

Clair d'Etoile, a premium ship with 12 cabins and a maximum of 24 guests. Cabins have individually controlled air conditioning, bed linen and towels are provided and the cabin is cleaned daily. There is a spacious sundeck and Wi-Fi on board.

Short Description

Eight days on a small premium ship from Soissons back to Lagny-sur-Marne, with Paris saved for the end of the week. You cycle flat routes along the Aisne, the Oise, the Seine and the Marne, with a tour leader riding with you every day, and come back each evening to the same cabin. Pierrefonds, Chantilly and Auvers-sur-Oise are on the way, and the ship moors in the centre of Paris before the final stage.

Tour Program

Day 1 - Soissons (0 km)
Boarding from 2:00 PM in Soissons, one of the oldest cities in France and once capital of the Frankish kingdom. The captain and crew show you the ship, you are fitted to your e-bike and take a short test ride. There is time for the cathedral and the small squares before the welcome drink and dinner on board.

Day 2 - Soissons to Compiegne (37 km)
The first full day crosses open countryside, small villages and quiet fields. The highlight is the Chateau de Pierrefonds, all towers, battlements and drawbridge (entrance included). The last stretch runs through the Forest of Compiegne. A longer 51 km option is available.

Day 3 - Compiegne to Pont-Sainte-Maxence (15 km)
A short, easy stage along the Oise through the southern part of the Forest of Compiegne, once a royal hunting ground. You end at Pont-Sainte-Maxence, named after its medieval bridge, with time for a walk through the old streets.

Day 4 - Creil to Beaumont or Auvers-sur-Oise (35 km)
The ship moves to Creil while you have breakfast. From there you ride to the Chateau de Chantilly, with its royal stables and the Musee Conde (entrance included), then continue through forest. Depending on the route you rejoin the ship at Beaumont or carry on to Auvers-sur-Oise. A longer 48 km option is available.

Day 5 - Auvers-sur-Oise to Bougival (46 km)
Auvers-sur-Oise is where Van Gogh spent his final days, and you can walk to his grave. The ride follows the Oise to Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, where it meets the Seine, then climbs to Saint-Germain-en-Laye for a wide view towards Paris before dropping to Bougival.

Day 6 - Bougival to Paris (42 km)
A day in the elegant western suburbs, including the Ile des Impressionnistes where Monet and Renoir painted the river. You can also skip the ride and explore Paris by public transport. A longer 54 km option is available. The ship moors in the centre of Paris and dinner is not served on board, so you eat in the city.

Day 7 - Paris to Lagny-sur-Marne (46 km)
The final stage leaves Paris along the Marne, on green river paths through the eastern suburbs. You pass the Chateau de Champs-sur-Marne, an 18th-century country estate with furnished salons and formal gardens, and end in Lagny-sur-Marne.

Day 8 - Lagny-sur-Marne (0 km)
Breakfast on board, then disembarkation at 9:30 AM.
