In Chenillé-Changé, the Domaine du Moulin's L’Hirondelle restaurant boat offers genuine food-focused cruises on the Mayenne and the rivers of Anjou in 2026. Meals are prepared by La Table du Meunier and then served during the cruise.
Which package should you choose?
The dining cruise lasts around 3 hours and costs €64.50 per adult, €29 for children aged 4 to 12 and €17 for under-4s. A 2-hour 15-minute bistro package is available at €45.50, with crémant, a gourmet platter and a glass of wine. Some dates also offer a 1-hour 30-minute apéritif cruise at €27.50, with 2 glasses of crémant and 8 cocktail bites.
What do you eat on board?
The cooking draws on local, seasonal produce prepared by La Table du Meunier: river or sea fish, meat, homemade desserts and Anjou specialities depending on the day's menu. Some special dates add seafood or fireworks evenings.
Where do you board?
The main departure point is Moulin de Chenillé-Changé, 49220 Chenillé-Champteussé. Other cruises may leave from Grez-Neuville or Angers: carefully check the boarding point stated when booking.
Things to know before booking
Dining cruises are by reservation and 2026 dates vary with the season. Boarding is generally requested 15 minutes before departure.
A little extra
L’Hirondelle is a genuine sightseeing restaurant boat, rather than a simple trip followed by a meal ashore. The same operator combines cruising, dining and local heritage from the Domaine du Moulin, creating a very coherent experience.
