Boat strolls

Duration: 1h30 - Price: €20 La Rabouilleuse has two sailing boats, each of which can accommodate up to 12 passengers, for trips that favour soft mobility, sailing and boating. Upstream from Tours, along the hillsides of Rochecorbon and Vouvray, discover river trips on the Loire. "The Loire has everything to surprise us and much to teach us. Whether you are a gourmet, curious or intrepid, you will find on board the recipe, the bivouac, the outing that will satisfy your desire for the Loire! Our booty: the light of the Loire, the observation of its fauna, the charm of its islands, the contemplation of its landscapes... Come and take your share! When the winds are favourable, we send the sail, otherwise we use the motor, the oar or the boat. In all circumstances, we plan a part of the tour in soft mobility (without motor) to better taste the rhythm of the river.

Duration: 2h - Price: €36 This 2-hour sunset excursion is an invitation to let yourself go and (re)connect with the natural environment of the Loire. It's a magical moment when you let yourself be carried away by the current and the light offered by the sunset, which is also the best time to discover the birds and, if you're lucky, the opportunity to see this discreet and unknown animal: the European beaver! So don't forget to bring your twins along! To complete the tour, we strongly advise you to bring a picnic to share (or not) with the other passengers!

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...

Duration: 1h30 to 2h - Price: from €20 We offer stand-up paddle and canoe hire so that you can discover some of the most exceptional tourist sites. Let yourself be tempted by this incredible experience of standing up on the river, whether you're 2 people or up to 10 on the same board. Embark on a remarkable tour that will take you to the foot of the Château d'Azay-le-Rideau, located in the heart of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
