Frequently Asked Questions
It is a tiny mooring in the Moselle on the Marne–Rhine canal. Several river cruises between Lorraine and Strasbourg begin or end here: it is a starting point, not a town to sightsee.
No, and it is worth knowing before you step ashore. Nothing here competes for your attention. The Saulnois countryside is the attraction, with its ponds, church towers, hedgerows and towpaths.
Walk or cycle the towpath to the first lock, watch a lock operate, pick up supplies at the village grocery. Waymarked routes start from the mooring.
More than you would expect for so small a village. It spreads over three sites — Lagarde, Port Sainte-Marie and Xures — and hosts boaters and hire craft right through the season.
Yes. The port has a chandlery and a grocery selling fresh bread, local cheeses and still-warm quiches before departure.
It is a boat lift unique in Europe, on the route out of Lagarde. It hauls vessels up the slope inside a huge steel caisson. Riding it aboard, strapped in as the landscape tilts, is one of the great memories of a Lorraine cruise.
To Strasbourg, via Saverne and Waltenheim. The barge MS Madeleine notably runs this route along the Marne–Rhine canal.
Yes, and it is the best way to fill the day. The towpath is flat and waymarked; the area suits quiet loops where you meet more cows than cars. The hop trail nods to the district's brewing traditions.
The euro and French. Bring cash: in a village this size, cards are not accepted everywhere. International boating means you will also hear plenty of Dutch and German on the pontoons.
For families who like quiet, yes. Children count ducks and watch the locks work. Anyone looking for organised activities or museums will be disappointed: slowing down is the whole programme here.
