Bateau promenade: an intergenerational experience

For the ultimate in family relaxation, take a cruise around Laval, Mayenne, Saumur or Saint-Nazaire. On board, you'll have just one thing to do: enjoy the scenery!

Taking a river cruise is always a favorite with families. You can take full advantage of the scenery, the beautiful homes on the banks, and the local flora... Bird-watchers won't be outdone!

Each promenade boat offers a unique atmosphere, and a singular discovery. Multiply your cruising experiences to appreciate the diversity of flora and fauna around you.

A boat trip for all generations

All aboard! Aboard a pleasure boat, you'll enjoy a peaceful moment with your family as you gently cruise along admiring the scenery. A boat excursion is an enchanted interlude before setting off on other tours or excursions in the Pays de la Loire region.

Passing from hand to hand, your pair of binoculars will help you spot the flora and fauna of the Loire. Children will always love having them in their possession, imagining themselves pirates for a day or captains of the ship!

The "Vogue et Vague" professionals have devised a range of river excursion packages to suit your every whim. They have also concocted "family" packages.

For example, with Détours en Loire, "Robinson's picnic" will take you completely away from your daily routine, departing from Beau-Rivage in Le Cellier (44). Pack your picnic and set off for a timeless break... Your guide will take you to remote corners of the Loire, where no one will come looking for you!

At Le Thoureil (49), a Petite Cité de Caractère, you'll board a "toue sablière" for a 1.5-hour discovery of the Loire's riches.

For an unforgettable and unusual evening, take the "Lighthouse Route" cruise from Saint-Nazaire (44). On this night-time cruise, you'll enjoy the magical light of the setting sun. The port facilities take on a whole new dimension as they take shape against the near-night sky.
