In Chalon-sur-Saône, Chalon Balade sur Saône offers small-group outings aboard skippered Lounge-Boats on the Saône and canal du Centre. Formats offered in 2026 include floating aperitifs, lunch and picnics enjoyed directly on board.
Which format should you choose?
The principle is flexible: a sightseeing cruise, lock passage, aperitifs, lunch or a picnic can be combined depending on the chosen duration. The activity mainly runs from April to September.
Where do you board?
Departure is from Chalon-sur-Saône, at the marina or opposite the tourist office depending on the package booked.
A little extra
The boat accommodates a small group rather than a large restaurant dining room. It is a good option for turning lunch or aperitifs into a proper private cruise on the Saône.
