To the west of the Loire Valley, in Anjou-Maine, we offer you emotions, dreams and wonder through nature !

The Loire Valley, a destination which is a world heritage site by UNESCO, under the title « live cultural landscapes ». To the west of the Loire Valley, Anjou-Maine is a natural destination recognised by the richness of it's rivers, it's exceptionnal landscapes between hills and valleys, meadows and forests, vinyards and majestic buildings. I love cycling along the Loire, on the towpaths of Mayenne or strolling along the forest trails of the Sarthe. Sometimes, I let myself be surprised by a castle just around a corner, a lock keeper's house or other secrets. In every season, light and atmosphere changes and offers me a new landscape and new sensations. If, like me, you want authenticity, discovering unusual places, gourmet cuisine, and you are prepared to live some strong natural emotions, then I invite you to come along to meet us !

Crossed by the Loire river, classed as world heritage site by UNESCO, dressed by castles, vinyards and troglodyte caves (lime stone caves carved into the rocks), Anjou-Maine invites you to a journey through time and space.
