La Belandre sur Chisseaux

15 June 26, Excellent big boat trip, lasts 50 mins, up and down river to view Chateau, lovely staff, nice bar for drinks, ice creams, camp site with all facilities, WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE?!!

Family lunch. A few weeks before the big day, we booked the prestige menu for everyone (teenagers, young adults, and adults). Having made the reservation, we forgot to mention that there would be children. On the day itself, Sunday, June 14th, we arrived at our table to find 11 glasses of Vouvray already poured, along with three open bottles of Chinon. We asked the young waitress if there were minors present and if we would like to exchange their glass of Vouvray. We could see that our request bothered someone, but we eventually managed to get three cans of Coke, as there was nothing else available. While the food was quite good (PRESTIGE menu), the service was more than inadequate. They forgot to serve half the table, and instead of apologizing, we were told, "It's because you didn't bring the plates forward." "We overlooked the minor hiccups and still had a great time, enjoying the long-awaited view of the castle and passing under the arches."

Magnificent castle nestled in the Cher river in the Sologne region; cruises available, booked online.

Magnificent feat accomplished with a canoe and passing under the arches.

Superb experience in mixed weather.

A very nice experience and a warm welcome.

A wonderful experience aboard the Bélandre, discovering the Château de Chenonceau from the river. The setting is magnificent and the trip very pleasant. It's a shame we couldn't pass under the Chenonceau bridge, and that the maneuvering time took up a significant portion of the total cruise time. Despite this, it's an activity I highly recommend if you're in the area.

A second must-see, steeped in history

Fantastic walk! It's very beautiful and relaxing, and the team is very friendly.

Friendly people, and for €45 you can take an hour-long boat trip. Enough time to sail for about 15 minutes to the castle, float around for about 30 minutes, and then return.
