Take a boat trip with Locaboat
on the rivers Mayenne, Sarthe and Oudon
and discover the region of Anjou with
its rich gastronomy and history. Don't
miss the cities of Angers, Laval, Mayenne
and Le Mans.
Between
Brittany and the Loire valley lies "doulce France" , the
valleys of the Mayenne, the Sarthe
and the Oudon, each with its own distinctive
charm. From either Chenillé-Changé or
from Châteauneuf-sur-Sarthe,
the three rivers invite you to make
a gently-paced journey past picturesque
little towns, or abbeys and castles
steeped in history. With its honeyed
stones and its slated roofs, Anjou
is a garden of enchantment.
Don't miss stopping at Angers which
preserves a colourful and bustling
old town underneath its castle walls.
The pleasures of this glorious region
extend also to the table, with rillettes,
chicken and capons washed down with
wine or sparkling cider. |
In
France Locaboat has received permission
from the local authorities for their
boats to be hired without licence.
Initial instruction, both theoretical
and practical, is given at the point
of embarkation, enabling you to quickly
master your boat and grasp the essential
rules of navigation. You will then
be given a licence that is valid for
the duration of your stay. |
As
for France, there is no shortage there
of rivers well stocked with fish, such
as the Somme, the Saône, the Seille.
N.B. In order to fish, you will have
to obtain a licence and this can be bought
on the spot. |
