Between Brittany and the Loire valley lies "doulce France" , the valleys of the Mayenne, the Sarthe and the Oudon, each with its own distinctive charm. From either Chenillé-Changé or from Châteauneuf-sur-Sarthe, the three rivers invite you to make a gently-paced journey past picturesque little towns, or abbeys and castles steeped in history. With its honeyed stones and its slated roofs, Anjou is a garden of enchantment.

Don't miss stopping at Angers which preserves a colourful and bustling old town underneath its castle walls. The pleasures of this glorious region extend also to the table, with rillettes, chicken and capons washed down with wine or sparkling cider.
