Slow Travel Experiences

By houseboat on the Mayenne

On the way with the houseboat on the Mayenne in the Pays de la Loire in western France, we discover a region and a river that could hardly be more relaxing. From Château-Gontier we drive to Laval and back in three days and experience a journey past châteaus and small villages.

Vienna Bratislava by boat

Vienna - Bratislava in 75 minutes. And that without traffic jams, without hectic rush and with great views of nature and the Danube. Perfect for an afternoon outing. This is possible with the Twin City Liner, which departs from the Schwedenkai in Vienna and goes to Bratislava.

Houseboat tips for beginners

We spent three days as beginners with the houseboat on the Mayenne. The Mayenne is a river in the Pays de la Loire not far from the border with Normandy and Brittany and flows into the Loire at Angers. It is one of the rivers in France that beginners can navigate without a boat license. What should you know beforehand?
