Loire and Sancerre

This tour starts in thriving Paris to the Loire river valley in central France. It offers a combination of history, culture, nature, agreeable rides in a varied countryside, with now and then some extra physical exercise. The Loire river is hardly navigable, so in the past centuries canals were dug parallel to some of the rivers to connect natural waterways. It’s a stunning experience to be on board while the ship is using the famous pont-canal (acqueduct) while leaving Briare.

Apart from being a historically very interesting part of France, this tour leads you along famous wine villages like Pouilly (of the Pouilly Fumé) and Sancerre. It’s certainly worth visiting several wine houses and taste the differences between the worlds best white wines!
