Maison de la Loire du Loir-et-Cher - Maison du Tourisme

In a 17th-century building in the heart of this small city of character, plunge into the heart of the Loire heritage and discover an original space. The scenographic space invites you to discover the Loire River through the senses. Take the whole family on a long journey from source to estuary. Let yourself be transported by the scenery, light effects, sounds, images and smells, and discover this magnificent heritage in total immersion. Immerse yourself in the natural and cultural dimensions of the Renaissance: human use of the river, a new way of looking at the world: the Loire as a river of knowledge, the transport of ideas with Leonardo da Vinci, the import and export of goods, fauna, flora and more. A lively and original tour where you'll be the river's privileged observer, in an interactive and intuitive space, as you make your way to St Dyé-sur-Loire, Chambord's port during the Renaissance. For children, the association offers a visit with Hector the beaver. A booklet of games entitled "Mysteries of the Loire Renaissance" will enable children to deepen their knowledge, discover and learn while having fun. They'll solve charades, rebus, crosswords and other entertaining games. At the end of an hour-and-a-half visit for the whole family, children who complete the booklet and find the mystery word will receive a gift.
