A twilight boat stroll with La Rabouilleuse
Presentation
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!
Please note that the outings on Sunday, August 30, and Sunday, September 27, will be themed tours led by subject matter experts:
August 30: Swimming in the Loire vs. Dragonflies, led by Renaud Baeta (Be Caudalis)
September 27: An archaeo-zoological tour led by Marie-Pierre Roue-Horard (MSH)
Highlights
• Watch the sunset over the Loire from aboard a traditional boat
• A friendly experience, with the option to bring your own appetizer basket to share!
An ideal cruise to learn all about the flora and fauna of the Loire.
