Useful information:
The Loire is the longest river in France, flowing from central France to the Atlantic.
Navigation on the Loire has a long history and was once of great importance for the transportation of goods. Today, it is navigable for large ships only from the mouth to Nantes. Above Nantes to the confluence of the Maine at Bouchemaine, it is still used for excursion ships. These offer boat tours through picturesque landscapes and historic cities.
