The Loire Valley / Maine-et-Loire region
The Loire valley particularly here, in the south of the région enjoys what the locals call " la douceur angevine" (the gentleness of Anjou).
Summers tend to be dry and hot ; also it is a perfect place to combine a wine tour; so wine tasting can be arranged if you wish.
Music festivals abound here in summer. You can take in a jazz café in Saumur or Bach in one of many venuues.
Consider also combining the exploration of the region's chateaux with a gastronomic meal for an extra special day out. Wonderful beaches are a couple of hours away.
The Doue La Fontaine area
"Val d'argent" is set in tranquil countryside near the wine producing communities of Doué la Fontaine, Cléré, Nueuil sur Layon, St Pierre à champ and the medieval fortified town of Argenton les vallées with its wonderful rock valleys and lake, chateau, riverside beach with pedalos and canoe kayak, mini golf and slide. We have a collection of walks and cycles routes, many are well marked and will guide you through local historical treasures. In Summer most of the villages are celebrating their own the themme food festivals with ootdoor late dancing "soirée"

Reviews

We stayed at Val d'argent for 2 weeks in August. A family of 4 and our dog Bonnie the Jack Russell. It was a long drive down from Calais (6 hours) but I guess we should not have been surprised... more |
