A very comfortable and attractive boat with a beautiful wood trim finish. She travels in France's upper Loire valley through a landscape straight out of a picture book. This is a cruise of castles with sightseeing in riverside villages and stately manor houses. 

The cruise along the Loire Lateral Canal follows the Loire river with its tradition of hunting, fishing and gracious living. The region is well known for its Sancerre vineyards and the delicious goats cheese called Crottin de Chavignol.

The highlight is the cruise on the barge over the 662 meter canal aqueduct spanning the Loire river at Briare.
