All along the exhibition, thanks to Cap Vert and the gardens, you will discover and explore the history, the techniques and the life on board a Loire boat. Many interactive tools (in French) will help you to understand the visit bette.

Two booklets (in French) are available at the desktop to make the children’s visit easier:

– The booklet « Young explorers » for two year-old to six year-old children. Try to find the photos of Cap Vert hidden in Cap Loire and put the coloured labels in the right place. It is not necessary to be able to read and write French.

– The booklet “A bargee’s life” for seven year-old to twelve year-old children. Composed of riddles, rebuses and games about the bargees’ life and the Loire environment, it could be difficult for an English child to use it. It is necessary to be able to read and write French.
