Balade au fil de l'eau (stroll along the water), Metz

Description

An hour long tour mostly around the Île Saint-Symphorien using two channels of the Moselle and a section of the main channel as well.

Starting from close to the Moyen Pont this fully electric boat glides silently upstream into the Plan d'eau and up into the main channel of the river. After a short sail upstream the route follows the shore of the island round into another side channel and back towards the city centre.

The boat continues past the landing stage and under the Moyen Pont to take in views of the Cathedral and Temple Neuf from the water before returning to the starting point.

A live commentary in French is given by the crew who also point out changing features on the river as the tour progresses (such as spotting out for Herons)
