Set sail along the Loire from St Dyé sur Loire, aboard the “La Saponnaire”

This newly-built traditional craft is a 12-metre futreau (wooden sailboat) berthed at Chambord’s port, St Dyé sur Loire. It is the work of the recently formed “Marins du port de Chambord” association, whose President, Vincent Aldebert, is an experienced boatman who used to ply the river for the Loire Observatory in Blois. Once authorisation for transporting passengers has been obtained during the course of July, the association plans to offer daily trips on the Loire up until October.

Among other things, the 2-hour outings planned for will enable passengers to acquaint themselves with the river’s fauna. 

Times: 10 a.m., 12 a.m., 3 p.m., 5 p.m. and at dusk. 

Promotion and reservations are through a partnership with the Maison de Loire du Loire-et-Cher, which is also located in St Dyé sur Loire. The project received financial aid from the Pays de Chambord Community of Communes (Leader Fund).
