Let the Saône tell you about its summer...
Imagine a summer morning when the air smells of the river and the banks are slowly waking up.
You arrive at the marina in Scey-sur-Saône, and already, the Audacieux is waiting for you. Its tranquil silhouette stands out against the water, ready for a journey where every moment counts.
Our guided cruises will be back in 2026, and the dates are already set, like so many promises:
Friday 17 to Sunday 19 July,
Friday 21 to Sunday 23 August,
and Friday 11 to Sunday 13 September.
Three windows open onto summer, three opportunities to let yourself be carried away.
On board, time slows down. You savour. You discover. You thrill.
Dinner cruises, guided cruises, aperitifs, local produce tastings…
Each outing has its own character and atmosphere.
And on the Audacieux, nothing is like anything you have experienced before.
Since 2018, our Tourist Office has been accompanying every traveller from the moment they purchase their ticket to their return to the port.
On board, our guides don't just commentate: they narrate, evoke and share. They recount anecdotes, reveal the secrets of the Saône and take you on a journey into 19th-century river navigation. Suddenly, you can see the motorless barges and the structures built by hand. You can almost hear the voices of the old boatmen.
A change of scenery guaranteed.
Why choose our cruises? Because here, every glance becomes a memory.
The Saône is not just a river: it is a cradle of nature, a living place that exudes peace.
Inside the Audacieux, the large bay windows become a screen opening onto the passing landscapes. The water sparkles, the trees lean in, the curves of the river captivate.
And if you go up to the upper deck terrace, the spectacle envelops you completely: the light, the calm, the gentle breeze accompanying the boat... everything invites you to disconnect from everyday life.
Around you, the local wildlife appears as if in a film: mute swans, grey herons, egrets, swallows... . Sometimes perched on branches, sometimes gliding between the water lilies, they seem to let you into their world.
A moment suspended in time.
Then comes one of the highlights:
passing through the locks...
crossing the Saint-Albin Tunnel...
Suddenly, an entire era is reborn around you. You travel back in time, experiencing what the boatmen experienced, discovering how these gigantic structures were built, stone by stone, stroke by stroke.
A cruise here is also a choice. A choice of values.
Departing from Scey-sur-Saône means supporting short supply chains, savouring carefully selected local products and encouraging an economy that champions its artisans and producers.
It means embarking with a team that puts your satisfaction at the heart of everything they do.
Above all, it means taking the first step on a wider adventure: discovering the Combes region.
Take an intense break... Really intense.
