Great location!:
A luxury escape set on the outskirts of a village within walking distance of shops and restaurants. Perfect for a romantic getaway or to hang out with family and friends. Ideally situated for château and wine tours with lakes, rivers and landscapes to explore. The area has been zoned as a UNESCO Royal Heritage site and there's plenty to see and do for all ages.
There are countless leisure activities including walking, horse riding, golf, water sports, cycling, visits to historic buildings and shopping and its only a couple of hours away from the beach.
The area:
Saumur, 20 minutes away is a famous château town with spectacular river views, boutiques, restaurants, theatre, bars and historic buildings, as well as a superb market on Saturdays. It is the home of the national French riding school and the French cavalry who put on spectacular dressage shows throughout the year.
The region is steeped in history and provides many attractions with its museums, abbeys, medieval churches, cathedrals and troglodyte caves - all close by. This was the area of the Plantagenets - Henry II, Eleanor of Aquitaine and Richard the Lionheart are all buried nearby at Fontevraud Abbey. Joan of Arc and Rabelais have links to the château town of Chinon 30kms to the West.
You are ideally placed to visit all the vineyards of the region which produces light reds, white and rosé wines and most famously the Saumur sparkling wines which rival some of the best champagnes and for a fraction of the price.
