Circuit:
| Day 1 : Savonnières-Bréhémont A first day full of landscape diversity! You embark from the sandy beach in Savonnières. You will criss-cross here the Cher River, and a dip is possible without risk. For the last kilometres of this winding and lazy river, past beautiful mansions and the castle of Villandry, you discover gulls, muskrats, egrets and common kingfishers, before joining in a final effort the confluence of the Loire. All seems to be immense and quiet at the same time. Just before the castle of Langeais and its magnificent bridge you cross a bird's reserve where you will be privy to the incessant flight of the sterns nesting on the sandy islands. It’s with the silky glow of the sunset on the church steeple of Bréhémont that you may surprise shadows of beavers, coming around to nibble on willows and poplars, before finishing your evening with a camp-out. 
Day 2 : Bréhémont – Candes St-Martin (25km) Awaken with the songs of the sparrows and amphibians, you will continue your discovery of the sandy river. Then the term "last wild river" takes its full dimension. As your journey begins in the first villages of the Nature Park Loire-Anjou-Touraine, you now approach the heart of it, a stretch void of any human presence. However, you can dock on prestigious and ancient ports of the Loire, whose fame is well known. Little by little, you leave behind you the non-navigagle part of the Loire to enter the barges' domain. You rub shoulders with fishermen in the middle of the river while admiring the old buildings on the banks. You finish your evening at the foot of another confluence, the Vienne River, at the cusp of the Touraine and Anjou regions. 
Day 3 : Candes St-Martin-Gennes (25km)
Your last day of adventure, and your new destination: you enter a new department and a new region. You will soon understand why UNESCO has listed the Loire Valley for its diversity of cultural landscapes. The collegiate church of Saint Martin, the castles of Montsoreau and Saumur will reward you for your efforts.
You plot your way through different types of typical old barges. With a little luck, the osprey eagle, will greet you a last time before your arrive in Gennes.
