I have friends who have done something a little different. They have taken a barge cruise on some of the canals in France. The barge had luxurious accommodations and a 4 star chef. The barge moved at a very slow and leisurely pace and it was often possible to get off the barge and onto bicycles and bike ahead to the next town where one could enjoy local cuisine an wines and just hop back on the barge when it caught up. You can google french barge cruises for more info.
