For over 30 years on the Saône and Seille
Your river holiday, with the family, with a team that knows you by your first name.
Saône Plaisance is a small, family-run business: Monique, Stéphane and the whole team welcome you at every step, from your first phone call to your return to port. Cruise without a licence between Savoyeux and Louhans, along two rivers with very different characters: the Saône and the Seille.
A family business, not a call centre
Our competitors run fleets of fifty boats or more in constant rotation. At Saône Plaisance, we keep it to around twenty — each one chosen, maintained and known inside out by the whole team. It’s this small scale that lets us answer every one of your questions personally, before, during and after your cruise.
Monique, who leads Saône Plaisance, her children including Stéphane, and the whole team at the Savoyeux marina take pride in welcoming every customer — whether a private guest or a partner travel agency — like family. That closeness is what has built Saône Plaisance’s reputation for over 30 years.

à votre écoute au port de Savoyeux
Two rivers, two atmospheres to explore
Our two bases aren’t on the same river. Savoyeux opens onto the “petite Saône,” Louhans onto the Seille: two very different faces of river cruising, to choose from depending on the mood you’re after.
Carefully chosen boats, not a faceless fleet
Every Saône Plaisance boat is individually maintained by our own boatyard. Seasonal rates, options (bikes, towel pack, one-way trips…) and terms (deposit, cleaning) are all detailed on our prices page.
