Chenonceaux by boat

People have been taking « la Bélandre » boats for 30 years, to discover the banks of the Cher River and the arches of the most fabulous and renowned French Renaissance style chateau built upon the river: Chenonceau. You will be invited to make a wish when you first pass under its arches. A unique and magical moment!

Throughout History and beautiful landscapes

The Cher River, like many rivers, used to be used to ship goods for a long period of time. As this tradition stopped years ago, and due to the landscape along this river, it is the perfect romantic setting for boat trips while listening to rekindled stories rich in history.

As you discover the surrounding hills, covered with forests and vineyards, on board “la Bélandre” boats, you will also enjoy listening to:

  • the history behind the Chenonceau chateau and its main owners,
  • the shipping up and down the Cher river,
  • the working of the traditional dams and locks,
  • the presentation of the local fauna and flora.
