I sail on the Loire
For the past 30 years, the Maison de la Loire, located in Saint-Dyé-sur-Loire, has been exploring the river from every angle and in many different ways: fauna, flora and culture. With a new-generation visitor center and a program of activities for the whole family, don’t miss: the “teeth of the Loire”, walks to learn about the beaver, a twilight canoe trip, the “eco PatriLoire” trail, a canoe-kayak trip down the Loire with a topoguide, or the Loire nature camps for 8-16 year-olds.
To enhance your knowledge in a fun way, you can also visit the Observatoire Loire, a brand-new visitor centre at the gateway to Blois, close to the green haven of the Parc des Mées and the La Loire à Vélo trail. Games, re-enactments and observation exercises will tell you everything the Loire has to offer over the centuries.
You can even rent a bike to enjoy the river’s landscapes.
