Le Thoureil: a pretty village on the banks of the Loire

The Fête du Thoureil, a festival of Loire barges, is an Angevin tradition that takes place every year in spring on the banks of the Loire at Thoureil, in Maine-et-Loire, between Saumur and Angers. The programme includes barges and old Loire sailing ships, and Loire festivities. It is considered the first festival of Loire barges between Nantes and Tours.

One of the most beautiful villages in the south Loire. You can admire the river, the flat-bottomed boats typical of the region, as well as the village which can be visited on foot or by bike.
Do not hesitate to have a drink or eat at the restaurant Au Coin du Fleuve. You will be received there with local products, a good atmosphere and a breathtaking view of the Loire.
