La Bohalle: Loire Landscapes, Canoeing and Architectural History

You can plan your stay around whether you are mainly interested in the river, a canoe trip, the buildings, or a visit to Le Laboureur. Different timings and types of visits apply depending on your focus.

Loire Landscapes and Nature Park

La Bohalle is located in the Loire-Anjou-Touraine Regional Nature Park; the Loire also forms the commune’s natural boundary. Over time, and through the force of the current, its sandbanks have exposed several islands. The nature park places La Bohalle within a wider landscape, while the Loire directly borders the commune. The sandbanks and islands add to this picture, reflecting the effects of current and time. If nature and landscape are important factors in choosing your destination, you can distinguish between the regional setting of the nature park and the town’s direct relationship with the Loire.

Canoe Trips on the Loire

The La Loire en canoë activity offers canoe trips on the Loire from La Bohalle. You can take the trip independently or be accompanied by qualified guides. The two options differ in the support provided, so consider which you prefer. Since departure arrangements may change, check how the trip is organised in advance. If a canoe trip is the deciding factor for your journey, confirm the specific date based on the current arrangements.

Chapelle Saint Joseph and Church

The Chapelle Saint Joseph was built between 1860 and 1863; the rose window on its façade was restored by a master glazier. The church in La Bohalle was built in 1840 by the architect Villers. This makes it possible to compare the buildings chronologically: the church is associated with a single year, while the chapel has a construction period spanning several years. The restoration of the rose window adds a craft detail to the chapel’s history. The town’s architectural history therefore has distinct chronological reference points as well as a specific façade feature.

Visit to Le Laboureur

Le Laboureur is located on the Loire à vélo route. The venue welcomes tourists during the summer season. Le Laboureur offers discovery sessions for groups or associations throughout the year by request. These types of visits differ in how they are scheduled: tourist visits are seasonal, while a group session must be requested. Check in advance whether the seasonal welcome coincides with your travel dates, and request a discovery session for your group or association if you would like one. The Loire à vélo route is a separate point of reference; visits to Le Laboureur are scheduled according to the season or by request.
