Boat Trip down the Loire
19 June 2008

  
  Our wandering bus (in fact our dear driver lost the way!) went to Candes St Martin where we divided into two boats to enjoy the beautiful landscapes of Rochecorbon and Chisseaux.
  
  The Loire River is the longest river in France.  With a length of 1,020 kilometers (630 mi), it drains an area of 117,000 sq km (45,000 sq mi), which represents more than a fifth of France's land area.  It rises in the Cevennes Mountains in the Departement of Ardeche at 1,350 m/4,430 ft near Mont Gerbier de Jonc, and flows for over 1,000 km (620 mi) north through Nevers to Orleans, then west through Tours and Nantes until it reaches the Bay of Biscay at St Nazaire.  Its main tributaries include the Maine River, Nievre River and the Erdre River on the right bank, and the Allier River, Cher River, Indre River, Vienne River, and the Sevre Nantaise River on the left bank.  The central part of the Loire Valley was added to the World Heritage Sites list of UNESCO on December 2, 2000.  The banks are characterized by vineyards and chateaus in the Loire Valley.
