| 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.
