Where are scenic "day cruise boats" on French rivers

Google is your friend. I'm sure there are others, but this is the first that came up. https://www.viator.com/France-tours/Day-Cruises/d51-g3-c7

I've never heard of this in France, the way you can ride up and down the Rhine and Mosel in Germany. You can rent canoes, etc at different places, however. In Paris, Canauxrama has a daylong Impressionists and Guinguettes trip, following in the footsteps of what we see in this Renoir painting.

Exactly. I was assuming there would be major lines, like the German KD and BS on the Rhine and Moselle, which operate like ferries. Multiple stops at each town per day. So you don't think that happens in France?

I'm sure there are day cruise boats, 2-5 hours long, but not scheduled to stop along the way. Right?

Thanks

I can't think of any like the former. I believe there are plenty of the latter. For example, the Dordogne from Beynac. I believe Lyon may have some.

My husband and I will be in Dordogne for a week beginning October 6-13. We fly to Paris and then Paris to Toulouse. Renting car in Toulouse and driving La Roque Gageac. Which will be our base for a week. I understand we will be right on the Dordogne River. I also was wondering about day cruises, sailing, Any info for this area appreciated. First time renting car in another country also.

We too are are staying in La Roque in June. They have sailing boat tours that travel the Dordogne. Also canoeing is very popular.

Thanks Richard. I love doing sailing excursions. Have you been to La Roque before. Also interested in doing some of the cave tours. Was wondering if you had preferences

Here is a great collection of photos from the Dordogne

We are going to Grotte du Pech Merle. Mainly because you can easily get reservations. It’s about an hours drive from La Roque.
