On a traditional boat
What emotions during this traditional boat trip on the Loire, to meet the fishermen of the royal river !
As the water flows by, the sunlight changes, offering an ever-changing view of the life of the river and its inhabitants. A timeless moment to be savored (almost) without moderation.
