A historic boat from the Loire

The Toue Cabanée, the emblem of Loire boats, tells a rich and fascinating story. This traditional boat, once used by fishermen and bargemen to navigate the calm waters of the river, was designed to combine robustness and practicality. With its flat hull and wooden cabin, the Toue provided ideal shelter for long days on the water.

In the 18th century, this type of boat was ubiquitous, especially in the small ports along the Loire. They were used to load goods, live and sometimes dream. Today, these boats evoke a simple way of life, close to nature.

Slowmoov and the rebirth of the Toue Cabanée

At Slowmoov, we’ve taken on the exciting challenge of revitalizing the Toue Cabanée, while adapting it to modern comfort expectations. Our revamped boats are installed on quiet ponds, in exceptional natural settings, far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Embark on an unusual Toue Cabanée holiday in Corrèze at the Village des Monédières and between Auvergne and Burgundy at the Village Toue du Domaine des Demoiselles.

Each Toue is a veritable floating mini-suite. With a cabin with a king-size bed offering panoramic views, a fully-equipped kitchenette, a living room with 3 additional beds, and a terrace where you can sip a coffee as the sun rises, your stay becomes a timeless experience. The cabin of yesteryear is transformed into a cocoon of serenity and charm.
