The boats are replicas of historic wine barges. They have a flat bottom, suitable for shallow waters like the Loire. This flat bottom allows them to dock and unload close to the shore. Today, they are often used as excursion boats for river cruises.

Built on the remains of the Gallo-Roman city of Caesarodunum, Saint-Gatien Cathedral stands in the heart of the city. This city was once one of the most famous places of pilgrimage in the West and is still one of the capitals of the Pays de Loire. Opening hours: Saint-Gatien Cathedral is open every day of the week from 8:30 am to 8:00 pm.

They can help you with your visit and answer your questions. For guided tours and group visits, which can take place all year round by reservation, please contact 07 66 39 84 11.
