A boat trip as romantic as interesting from a tourist point of view… A gentle visit from Colmar with Sweet Narcisse!

This natural house also offers nature excursions accompanied by an entertainer, who on foot, on a bike or by boat will take you to listen to birds and observe the natural environments surrounding you.

It should be noted that vessels can take persons with reduced mobility and wheelchairs.
