VINTAGE BOATS IN ORLÉANS
24 September, 2025 - 28 September, 2025
Twelfth edition of the Festival de Loire: the largest European gathering of the river navy.

The docks of Orléans will transport us back to the atmosphere of the 19th century, paying tribute to the last wild river listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Along 2 km of quays, approximately 700 sailors will share their passion for the Loire through numerous activities and demonstrations of traditional inland navigation crafts, gastronomy, and the expertise of the Loire navy.
In addition to this gathering of over 200 vessels, there will be concerts, street theater, educational workshops, exhibitions, conferences, and shows—all free of charge.
ASDEC will be present with an official delegation.
The MUSEO BARCA LARIANA will be present with its own stand.
