This summer, here at Locaboat, we\u2019ve picked ten of our favourite spectacular sunsets!\n

The sparkling canals of France<\/strong><\/h2>\n \n

Camargue reflections<\/strong><\/h3>\nWith nothing to obscure the view, the unspoilt stretches of the Camargue<\/a> offer a breathtaking horizon. Fringed with ponds and marshes, the waters of the Petit-Rh\u00f4ne create endless shimmers.\n

Lustre of the Loire <\/strong><\/h3>\nFrom the top of two imposing pillars, the famous Briare<\/a> canal bridge offers superb views as you cruise along at a height of 11 metres with your houseboat<\/strong>. At sunset, the canal bridge becomes a magical place, as France\u2019s longest river basks in the last rays of sunlight.\n

A real fairy tale<\/strong><\/h3>\nA cruise with your houseboat<\/strong> through Brittany<\/a> feels like a journey through a childhood fairy tale. The famous Josselin Castle, on the banks of the River Oust, catches the last fiery rays of the sun and its stones turn red, as if the whole castle was blushing with pleasure!\n

Leaves of gold<\/strong><\/h3>\nA cruise through Burgundy<\/a> from Saint-L\u00e9ger-sur-Dheune is also a wine tour. At sunset, the rows of famous vineyards<\/strong> look as if they\u2019re on fire in the sun\u2019s last rays (don\u2019t worry \u2013 it\u2019s quite safe!).\n

Enjoy the last swim of the day <\/strong><\/h3>\nOn the Canal de la Marne au Rhin<\/strong>, make the most of sunset at the Etang de Gondrexange. It is the place for pike fishing, but also for swimming. It\u2019s an ideal spot for an evening dip in the Alsace<\/a><\/strong> waters by the last light of the day.\n\n \n

The waterways of Europe seen at their best<\/strong><\/h2>\n \n

Better than a gondola trip!<\/strong><\/h3>\nIn Venice<\/a><\/strong>, as soon as the sun goes down, crowds of tourists head for the gondolas to experience sunset from the lagoon<\/strong>. But the height of luxury is sipping something sparkling as you relax on your very own floating cafe terrace \ud83d\ude09\n

Reinventing Amsterdam\u2019s canals<\/strong><\/h3>\nThey call it the \u2018Venice of the North\u2019<\/strong> – and you can see why when the sun goes down. There\u2019s nothing more romantic than cruising in Amsterdam<\/a> towards the sunset as its last rays illuminate one bridge after another.\n

Wild panoramas in Mecklenburg<\/span>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\nIn the heart of Mecklenburg<\/a><\/strong>, the Fleesensee provides the perfect natural getaway. It\u2019s the kind of natural setting where you can reflect and contemplate \u2013 and as the sun sets, you\u2019ll lay down memories that are hard to put into words.\n

Toasting a beautiful day in Irland<\/strong><\/h3>\nFrom our base at Carrick-on-Shannon<\/a>, you can explore Ireland<\/strong>\u2019s treasures by day and enjoy the nightlife until dawn! Or, if you\u2019re planning to stop off at Ballyconnell, you\u2019ll find the famous nightlife gets really hot as the sun cools down \u2013 keep up!\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
