Aboard a traditional boat from the Loire, treat yourself to a moment of total disconnection in the middle of nature, just a stone’s throw from the city. For a tourist stroll, an aperitif on the waves or a guided discovery of biodiversity, embark for an unforgettable moment!


With the Boutavant Association, enjoy a river outing on Margot or Erdre - the traditional «toue» flat-bottom wooden boats that have seating for 12 and 30, and are suited to the hydrology of the Loire, right on the old port site in Tours.

Aventure Canoë invites you to stroll along the Cher, a calm river with a preserved ecosystem. Our leitmotiv is to be as close to nature as possible while doing sport!Our base offers several routes on the Cher Sauvage and the Cher Tranquille. The canoe trip will give you the chance to discover the flora and fauna of the valley, and of course the Château de Chenonceau from a new angle, as you pass under the arches of this magnificent architectural work! Base at CHISSEAUX (departures from Montrichard, quai Jean Bart), ST AIGNAN and CHISSAY (lock keeper's house).The club offers introductory and advanced courses for schools, leisure centres, groups, works councils, companies and seminars. Groups: 2/3-day bivouacs are also organised with partner campsites.

The association has two boats on the River Loire, one for 12 people and the other for 6.
