Water tours and activities France

This is an original way to discover Pontrieux, from the river. Lasting 25 minutes, this guided and piloted walk, aboard a boat equipped with an ultra-quiet electric motor, will take you from downtown to the port. You will admire about fifty recently restored wash houses along the river. Each bourgeois house had one of them. You will learn more about the history of the city, from where the linen cloth produced in the area was once exported.

The association Boutavant proposes you to embark on a beautiful trip on the Loire. The three traditional wooden boats leave from the Wilson bridge or the suspension bridge. They are adapted to the hydrology of the Loire and allow you to discover the surrounding fauna and flora, as well as to see the main monuments of the city. It is possible to organize an aperitif on board. A pure moment of relaxation to take your time along the water.

If you dream of visiting Aber Wrac'h and Abbé Benoît by sea and discovering their many small islands, do not hesitate to call on the services of the Vedettes des Abers maritime company, which will offer you many excursions, guided tours, meal cruises, fishing trips,...

We recommend a visit to the Virgin Island and its lighthouse (ticket to be purchased on site), especially during high tides, where you can walk to and from the island by shuttle.

It should be noted that the price of the ticket is a little high, but the location being exceptional, the expense will quickly be amortized into unforgettable memories.

Embark with Guillaume Giovannelli, a native sailor of the village, and visit the Calanche de Piana, the gulf of Porto and of course the Scandola reserve and its port of Girolata. Morning and afternoon departures are by reservation, given its maximum capacity of 12 places. The launch is covered for your comfort, equipped with toilets on board and a camera that will allow you to admire the transparent backgrounds live for your greatest pleasure. Comfort of sitting on real armchairs for your excursion with the bonus of a sunbathing area at the back of the boat!

In order to break the intimacy of the Poitevin Marsh, from the bay of the Stimulus to the tapis of its interlaced canals, there is only one imperative: drop the car, its polluting exhaust pot and its vrombissant engine. It's not velvet that you have to penetrate its lush vegetation, sliding on the water or pressing on the pedals. Different formulas for renting bicycles, canoes or boats (with or without ferry boats) are offered, with circuits from 1 h to 3 h (from 2 days to week for canoeing rides). Circuits specially developed for the Works Councils are organised by year upon reservation: «Les Rally en Boats», which combines cycling, walking and boat rides with the possibility of barbecue on-site for lunch.
