Découverte et détente centers on an unhurried afternoon of sailing from Choisey, followed by a shared meal of charcuterie, cheeses and desserts, an overnight stay aboard the vessel and a morning breakfast—an experience that compresses relaxation and simple culinary pleasure into a single 2‑day, 1‑night outing.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE ROUTE

An easy afternoon of navigation

The program features an après‑midi de navigation from the Halte fluviale de Choisey—time on the water is the trip’s core, a measured cruise that frames the social meal and overnight.

THE FOOD

Communal boards: charcuterie, cheese and sweets

A highlight is the meal service: a planche featuring charcuteries, fromages and desserts that accompanies the afternoon and evening aboard.

THE STAY

A night on the water, simple breakfasts

The package includes nuités à bord with cozy onboard breakfasts the next morning, folding lodging and dining into the same riverborne space.
