Guy was very nice. He was able to tell us all about the Loire, and the walk was serene. It was well explained, interesting but not too intrusive. We appreciated his kindness.

Peaceful and charming discovery of the banks of the Maine and Loire rivers at the pace of the boatmen of yesteryear... Along the way, the pleasant captain shares his experience as a Loire boatman with interested passengers, as well as his knowledge of geology, ornithology and oenology. A complete tour not to be missed!
