Local Information

The next village of SEGRE is 7k away, where there is a heated indoor swimming pool, banks, chemists, shops, restaurants and bars. It has a weekly market (Wednesday) which is well supported with traders and shoppers alike. There are two large supermarkets with the nearest one “SUPER U” having an in house bakers. Also you will find a DIY type shop – BRICOMARCHE – from which you can purchase logs should you wish to use the fire.

The Anjou region is renown for the Chateaux, waterways and of course, wine. Besides these there are plenty of other things to see and do nearby, including a fine selection of golf courses, of which full details are available. It is only 2 hours drive from the coast or in the opposite direction, Futuroscope. You will find various tourist leaflets in the house giving fuller details. However, you should not miss out on a visit to ANGERS, with the castle and Apocalypse tapestry (largest in the world). Also, this is the only place in the world where Cointreau is made. Visits to the distillery can be made, with tasting, of course.

The region is very famous for its waterways, there being the Rivers, Oudon, Mayenne, Maine, Loir and of course the mighty Loire. There are various activities available on the rivers including day cruises where you can see the many Chateaux from the comfort of a boat. Some have areas for swimming and other water activities.

Of course if Chateaux are your “thing” then you could not be in a much better area, there are loads for you to visit within the area, too many for us to try to name.

Anjou’s history is closely tied with the history of England. It was in the early 11th century that the region really began to take shape. It was during that period that the count of Anjou, known as Geoffrey the Fair, founded the Plantagenet dynasty. He married Matilda, daughter of the King of England, and their grandson, Richard the Lionheart is buried in the Fontevraud Abbey alongside his parents, Henry 2nd and Eleanor of Aquitaine. In fact 15 princes and princesses of this family are buried here. This abbey is very impressive and well worth a visit.

Domaine de la Petite Couere is rather unique in France. A natural park of 80 hectares, in which over 300 animals are on view, most of which are free to roam as they want. Many of which are quite unusual, like their mascot a very large headed “donkey” called Le baudet du Poitou, a rare survivor of an endangered species. In the grounds is also a reconstructed village of the early 19th century with a school, church, house and shops — a real step-back in time. In addition, there is on view means of transport and household machines through the ages, a vast collection of Dinky toys and much more. There are plenty of picnic areas available both in the open and under cover (get out of the sun) so take a picnic and enjoy a full day. For a real taste of France “La Guinguette” is a must. An open air restaurant between Feneu and Montreuil Juigne on the banks of the river Mayenne. Meals are served both at midday and the evening, often accompanied by music and singing.

Fancy a day out on the beach, but do not want to drive to the coast? Just go towards Angers and before you reach the town turn off to Lac de Maine where you will find a swimming area with a beach and pedalos. This also has picnic areas and even places for you to do a BBQ – take your own charcoal though.

Saumur has much to offer, besides its grand Chateau, troglodyte caves, the mushroom caves, the first underground miniature town in the world sculpted from limestone and of course the famous Cadre Noir horses. It is said that the stone for the construction of St. Paul’s Cathedral came from here. The zoo of Doue La Fontaine is based around the underground caves typical of the area. A lush tropical environment with over 500 species living in partial captivity. The zoo also has a programme for the conservation of endangered species.

Close to this zoo is “the” garden of roses, where there are innumerable different plants on view.
