The Hotel yacht Miro sets sail for the world-renowned City of Lights every year from the end of September, ensuring you a gorgeous Autumn trip to Paris and back.
The ship is fully equipped for the adventurous route to France, and is well-able to ensure that you get to enjoy the most scenic of routes as we progress. We値l take more than 160 Locks and bridges, of which most Locks are automatic. But sometimes it値l be expected of us to lend the Lock Master a helping hand!
Along the
route
are delightful cycling opportunities and possibilities to enjoy some (Nordic)
walking, and we値l have the bikes ready for
you on the deck, so be sure to help
yourself and feel free. If you disembark, make sure to drop into one of the many
delightful villages that you値l pass to buy a deliciously crusty baguette:
you値l enjoy the soup at dinnertime that much more!
The route takes us from Maastricht, to Liege and Namur through the coal basins of Charleroi . We値l sail on to Str駱y where the ship will be lifted by a special ship lift, as big as a football field, 73 metres into the air across to the other side. We値l sail through kilometres of long tunnels where a small locomotive will pull us through the dark corridors. A truly unforgettable experience! We値l dock at old French cities such as Maubeuge, Compi鑒ne and Pontoise, gorgeous garden cities where the various Napoleons and kings built their country lodgings. We値l sail over the Somme de Oise and lastly the magical Seine.
