The Loire, often referred to as "Europe's last wild river", boasts characteristic landscapes and a rich natural environment.
A Loire landscape is made up of sandbanks, islands - a distinctive feature of the Loire landscape - oxbows filled in when the riverbed was modified, mudflats: real living spaces, old sandpits, old towpaths, boires - narrow waterways. But it is also the slipways and quays that are heritage features of the banks of the Loire.
Time has shaped the banks and landscapes of this river, whose vagaries have had to be controlled to protect people and preserve crops, encouraging the development of market gardening and horticulture.
