The Loire

The longest river in France, the Loire is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here in Touraine, it is our common thread. A natural element that is inseparable from our landscapes and our way of life, it shapes the land and the people. From the mainland or on the deck of a gabare, we invite you to get closer to its banks.

Bike tours, waterside cafés, boat trips, there are a thousand and one ways to let yourself be carried away by the Loire!
