I've gone to the World Waterways link above in one of your posts and the page is "not available". Have they gone out of business or...??? I've been looking for a barge trip like this and hoping to find some information on it.
Fantastic report and very useful info.
Thank you!

Had to stop at the barge to go to class. Back tomorrow to finish this TR and shops! Good job, tower.

Artlover: Sorry to hear that..my trip was in 2006. Strasbourg seems to be a good starting point for barge trips and Alsace wine country surrounds it. Suggest you go to Barge Trips on Google and see what's available. I know that the Seine out of Paris, the Rhone out of Beaune/Lyon, Midi Canal and Bordeaux seem to be most popular French barge starting points. stu
