Canoeing on the Loir

Discover France at your own pace as you enjoy a scenic voyage along the Loir River – in your own canoe! Nature and culture combined in one great weekend get-away.

Original and relaxing, your journey takes you from the canals of Bonneval, the “Little Venice” of the Loir Valley, to Cloyes-sur-le-Loir and your romantic stay in a charmingly restored 16th-century inn, Le Saint-Jacques.

Along the way, you'll glide by the historic chateau town of Chateaudun and the picturesque castle at Montigny-le-Gannelon, as well as authentic mills and villages. Then, stop to enjoy your complimentary picnic lunch for two, on the green, quiet banks of the Loir.

In the evening, sit down to a gourmet dinner in Le Saint-Jacques’ spacious dining room overlooking a sprawling park. Le Saint-Jacques, an ancient "Relais de Poste," was once a stopping-off point for pilgrims following the route of Saint Jacques de Compostelle. Today, it the perfect setting for your stay in the Eure et Loir.
