Duration: 2h30 - Price: €36 Enjoy an exceptional moment on the Loire at sunset aboard a traditional boat with La Rabouilleuse. A little upstream from Tours, along the hillsides of Rochecorbon and Vouvray, La Rabouilleuse invites you to discover the Loire through a very special atmosphere and colors. 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 favorable, we set sail, otherwise we use the motor, the oar or the mizzen. In all circumstances, we plan to use soft mobility (without a motor) for part of the tour, to get a better taste of the river's rhythm. You can bring your own aperitif basket to share with other participants. A moment of conviviality guaranteed!
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...
