Cottage on a château estate in the Mayenne
The château lies beside the Mayenne River, about a kilometre outside the old town of Château-gontier in the western Loire, just south of Normandy. It has been in our family since the 16th century and is very much a home that has a great feeling of contentment as well as continuity. Within easy reach of most channel ports, we are 20 kms from Laval, 45 minutes from Angers and an hour from the racing circuit at Le Mans and some of the great Loire châteaux. A tree lined drive where you can often spot red squirrels and rabbits leads to the cottage, once part of the old stables, set in the middle of the park leading down to the banks of the Mayenne and surrounded by fields and copses. There is a barrage within reach that is a good place for fishing and we have a boat that you can take out on gentle trips throughout the locks along this lovely river.

Winthin a radius of 2 kms you can go water skiing and hire canoes and bicycles. Château-Gontier has a swimming pool open to every one, a small golf course and tennis courts. In the centre of town is a cinema. Laval and Angers both have excellent golf courses. If you like fishing, a daily permit is easily arranged. If you take the boat across the river and moor at the beautiful Jardin du Bout du Monde, you can easily walk around Château-Gontier from there. At the bottom of the gardens is a Romanesque church with frescoes and an 11th century crypt. Further along is the old part of the town with ancient colombage houses and some fine 17th and 18th century houses, one of which houses the museum. Crossing back over the river via the old bridge, our walk brings you now to the outskirts of the town & the 12th century Chapelle du Geneteil and the splendid Convent des Ursulines, which is now the home of the Theatre National du Pays de la Loire, a talented company that is well-known & loved.
