Boat strolls

Duration : 4h - Price : 45 € Treat yourself to an afternoon under the sign of the Loire, to discover the functioning of the river while tasting its gentle way of life. First on foot, your eco-guide will explain the Loire landscapes, their history and the ecology of the river before boarding a traditional Loire boat for a 50-minute cruise. An aperitif composed of Touraine specialties as well as a glass of wine or fruit juice will accompany you during the gourmet stroll. A friendly and educational outing.

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: 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.

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.
