Ideal for beginners
This boating trip on the clean waters of the Mayenne river is ideal for beginners like us. Cruising through beautiful landscapes past castles and charming villages, we found the locks were well maintained and easier to use than expected. For mooring there are many pontoons in all the best locations and facilities, such as water points.
