Boat strolls

Duration: 2 hours - Price: €25 On the outskirts of Tours, the Bateliers du Cher offer guided tours all year round, departing from Savonnières (up the Cher towards Tours). You'll board traditional 18th and 19th century boats (seating 12) for an hour and a half of discovery. A change of scenery and peace and quiet guaranteed!

Duration: 1h - Price: €30 Take advantage of fine weather to treat yourself to an aperitif cruise on the Loire departing from Tours with the BOUTAVANT association. Take a seat aboard a traditional boat for a one-hour cruise and enjoy the late afternoon light on the river. A basket of Touraine specialities and a glass of wine will accompany this timeless moment of discovery.

With La Rabouilleuse, experience a literary moment on the Loire aboard a traditional boat. A little upstream from Tours, along the hillsides of Rochecorbon and Vouvray, come and enjoy a trip where the sailor is also an actor. The texts are not read but spoken and acted out by your pilot on the boat.  "I have a feeling I've already said this elsewhere: the Loire and Touraine have been praised far too much. It's time to do it justice. The Seine is much more beautiful than the Loire; Normandy is a much more charming 'garden' than Touraine...". Victor Hugo Jean-Marie Sirgue, boatman and actor, is determined to prove the great Victor wrong, and will not hesitate to call on the likes of Balzac, Rabelais, Laclavetine, La Fontaine, Genevoix, Pennac, Beuriot and Maupassant...

From Tours, a shuttle bus will take you to Vouvray where you will start your canoe trip. A half-day of relaxation in the middle of nature, on a 2-hour navigation course on the Loire, accessible to all levels. After the effort, the comfort ! The arrival is done at the Guinguette of Tours, where we will come to collect the material.
