Although installed in your living area, cozy and comfortable, you will never tire of observing wild for hours and exceptional landscapes of the Loire, its birds, its fishermen and its old ships.

At night, you'll feel you sleep lost in the water, rocked by the lapping of water (one bedroom with a double bed and 2 single sofa 70x190 cm in the living room) ..
Equipped with a kitchenette (with hob and small fridge-freezer) and a small bathroom (with dry toilets and shower), Queen Toue is a small but real house, allowing you to take you for a Loire boatman for several days to see one week.

Magical

It was so lovely on board, just enjoying the river and views of the islands, that we spent most of the day on the boat. The interior is first rate- charming, clean and romantic. There is a wealth of wildlife to be seen from the boat.
Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2016
