What to expect

Loire Evasion is a unique and unforgettable experience that offers excursions on traditional boats of heritage interest on the Loire River, a royal river listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The boats, such as Mademoiselle and La Nonchalante, are replicas of 18th-century Loire barges and offer a chance to discover the Loire landscapes and admire the migratory stopover of many birds. The excursions are led by experienced captains, including Vincent, a wine merchant and Loire enthusiast, who will share the story of shipping, flora, and fauna. The place offers various formulas, including a 1-hour cruise with a glass of champagne or juice, a 2-hour cruise with wine and local products, and a gourmet escape with a meal prepared by a chef. The excursions are suitable for families and friends and offer a range of activities, including wine tourism and gastronomic escapes
