"Welcome aboard!"
For over 40 years, Le Sablésien has been taking you on narrated cruises aboard the only restaurant boat in Sarthe.
Comfortably seated at your table or on the upper deck terrace, admire the famous Saint-Pierre de Solesmes Abbey, experience the passage through the locks and let yourself be lulled by the beauty of the landscapes.
For lunch, a stroll or an aperitif, the Sablésien and his crew welcome you departing from Sablé sur Sarthe, less than an hour from Le Mans, Angers and Laval.
Choose your cruise, with or without meals, lasting from 1.5 hours to 7 hours round trip.
The itinerary and menu served on board depend on the chosen date; the cruise schedule is available on the website. (Dinner cruises are by reservation only.)
