Screening of the documentary
The Loire - Royal and rebellious
In the presence of directors Jean Charbonneau and Dong Wei
Running time: 90 minutes
From Mont Gerbier-de-Jonc to St Nazaire, Jean and Wei Charbonneau followed the river step by step, on foot, by bike, kayak or boat. They were interested in the magic of water, whether flowing or still, nourishing or polluted, shrinking in summer or bursting at the seams during floods.
4 seasons on the Loire, observing the landscapes, the banks, the fish and the fishermen, both professional and amateur. True lovers of the Loire live on the water, in a toue, a flat or a futreau, observing the slightest sign of the river, which surprises them every time with its dynamics and unexpected traps. The bargemen are a big family, linked by this common thread that connects them to the great Loire festivals such as Le Thoureil, Saumur and Orléans.
Sports enthusiasts also enjoy the Loire: sailing, canoeing, kayaking, jetskiing and even jousting. We'll be following Europe's biggest kayak, canoe and standup paddle competition: Loire 725.
As we pass through the towns along the river and the châteaux that have more or less stood the test of time, we'll look back at the history of this great royal road, all the way to Saint Nazaire, the last ocean-facing port from which the world's largest ocean liners now set sail.
