The Chavans crew sail down the Loire

Four futreau boats of Chavannée boatmakers, whose home port is in Château-sur-Allier (Allier), climbed aboard on 21st April 2013 from quai du Châtelet in Orléans. Their aim: join Candes-Saint-Martin after a week's outing, with the desire to perfect their knowledge of the river route for traditional trades. This is also the opportunity to introduce four new crew members to how futreau boats work.
