Duration: 1 day - Price: €44 Take a ride on the Loire à Vélo© between Tours and Montlouis-sur-Loire, visit a winery and have a picnic break before returning by canoe! Your program: Departure from Tours, 13 km bike ride on the Loire River (1h00) to Montlouis-sur-Loire: follow the banks of the Loire on a bike path accessible to the whole family. A visit and wine tasting awaits you in Montlouis sur Loire (1h00). Discover the land and the history of the wines of Montlouis-sur-Loire. You can picnic at the canoe base in Vouvray, but you'll need to bring your own picnic as there are no refreshment points on site. You will exchange your bikes for canoes at our base in Vouvray and return in Tours by the Loire (up to the Wilson Bridge guinguette or the wire bridge, depending on the water level). You will travel approximately 7 km among the birds of the Loire (1½ to 2 hours) aboard unsinkable, self-bailing canoes.

Duration: 2½ hours - Price: from €36 With La Rabouilleuse, enjoy a truly special experience on the Loire at sunset aboard a traditional boat. Just upstream from Tours, along the slopes of Rochecorbon and Vouvray, La Rabouilleuse invites you to discover the Loire through its unique atmosphere and colours. What we offer: the light of the Loire, the chance to spot wildlife, the charm of its islands, and the chance to take in the scenery… Come and enjoy it all! When the winds are favourable, we set sail; otherwise, we use the engine, oars or a paddle. In all circumstances, we include a section of the trip using gentle propulsion (without the engine) to better savour the river’s rhythm. You’re welcome to bring your own aperitif basket to share, if you wish, with the other guests. A convivial atmosphere guaranteed!

Duration : 1h30 - Price : 7€ Take a guided tour of the emblematic Vieux Tours district, which stretches around Place Plumereau, led by a tour guide. Medieval timber-framed and stone houses stand side by side with exceptional town houses. These homes bear witness to the prosperity of this part of the town, which grew up around a huge collegiate church dedicated to Saint Martin. Once home to the body of the saint, it was the centre of one of the oldest pilgrimages in Christendom. This tour has been awarded the Ville d'Art et d'Histoire label.
