The texts are not read but spoken and acted out by your pilot on the boat.  "I have a feeling I've already said this elsewhere: the Loire and Touraine have been praised far too much. It's time to do it justice. The Seine is much more beautiful than the Loire; Normandy is a much more charming 'garden' than Touraine...". Victor Hugo Jean-Marie Sirgue, boatman and actor, is determined to prove the great Victor wrong, and will not hesitate to call on the likes of Balzac, Rabelais, Laclavetine, La Fontaine, Genevoix, Pennac, Beuriot and Maupassant...
