The Loire Valley / Maine-et-Loire region

Often called the 'Garden of France' for its temperate climate, the Loire Valley is an enchanted land of vineyards, sunflowers and rolling green hills, dotted with more than a thousand Chateaux. In 2000, UNESCO added the central part of the Loire Valley to its prestigious list of World Heritage sites.

The Saumur area

Home to the Cadre Noir, known for its annual horse shows. There is a tank museum, the Musée des Blindes, with more than 850 armoured vehicles. High above the town, the 14th century Chateau houses the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, an impressive collection of European china and the Musée du Cheval, progressing through the evolution of bridles and stirrups to an amazing and diverse saddlery collection. Also visit the troglodyte dwellings carved out of the cliffs, the Musée de Champignons, underground caves used to grow 70% of France’s mushrooms and enjoy a guided tour of the sparkling wine tuffeau caves, taste the local wines and buy direct. Le Mans, Tours, Angers and Poitiers are all within a reasonable drive, offering a wealth of attractions and things to do.

“Perfect!” After a sad and hectic few months my husband and I we were looking for somewhere to relax and unwind. We couldn't have chosen better than the wine store. It was spotlessly clean with tasteful decor. Caire and John were the perfect hosts - helpful but not imposing and Jake the dog was well behaved and adorable. I'm not keen on dogs, but he won me over!. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

“Lovely Week” Clare and John were great hosts with lots of ideas of things to do in the area we stayed in the Wine Store which was very clean and comfy.You can book a meal which is cooked by Clare which we did for the first night and it was excellent.

“Lovely quiet gite in a very nice area of France” The Wine Store is lovely decorated and situated on beautiful grounds. The swimming pool is well kept. There are quite a few animals on site (the owners' very well behaved dog, rabbits, sheep and chickens) which was great entertainment for our 11-month old daughter. John and Claire, the owners of the Wine Store, are very kind, helpful and welcoming. Claire cooked us a delicious meal and we can very much recommend booking this. The difficult bit is choosing what you'd like to eat! There's a large supermarket located within 10 minutes' drive. There are lots of things to do in the nearby area, such as Chenonceau Chateaux, Chateaux d'Usse (Sleeping Beauty's castle), Zoo de la Fleche and the pretty town Saumur.

“Perfect Location to discover the delights of the Loire Valley” Claire, John (not forgetting "Jack") were perfect hosts the Wine Store was comfortably with all the facilities to make our stay a relaxing one. The location is good for exploring the many Chateaux's and Vineyards especially in the Saumur region of the Loire. Claire's meal on arrival and John's wine tour are not to be missed ! We cycled the local roads and forest tracks, taking the bikes to the loire river we covered approx 160km up and down the "La Loire a Velo" route (tip: visit the local touist information office in each town very informative and supplied us with free cycle maps.) a particular favourite starting in a pretty village of Candes-St-Martin followed the route to Rigny-Usse via Chinon arriving back at the Wine Store in the evening it was good to have a dip in the pool & a glass of wine!

“A welcome retreat” Claire, John and Jack (the well behaved dog) gave us a lovely welcome when we arrived. We had asked for an evening meal on arrival which was delicious with generous portions. The accomodation had everything you needed together with a welcome pack of essentials. Wi Fi was freely available but unfortunately didn't reach inside the gite. Only criticism was that the pool was out of use (one of our criteria when booking) although as it turned out we wouldn't have used it due to the inclement weather. The surrounding areas and towns give you plenty to do. Would return here if in the area again.

“Relaxing with great hospitality” We hired both the gites as I was travelling with 2 friends. Both were well appointed and very clean and tidy. The hospitality offered by Claire and John, the owners, was superb. I would highly recommend the wine tour they took us on. This allowed us to sample plenty of wines without having to worry about driving back!! Jack their dog was great entertainment and is clearly enjoying a great lifestyle!! Would definitely return if heading back down to the Loire region.

“Lovely setting to relax and soak up the atmosphere” We found this a very enjoyable place to take our little one on his first holiday. Claire and John were very welcoming and the meal on arrival was delicious after the journey there. La cohere is perfectly situated to enjoy the Loire valley, with it's chateaux, vineyards and great food. Comes highly recommended!

“Comfortable, well equipped holiday home for 2 in lovely quiet rural location” A warm welcome awaits guests staying at this small French gite. Although compact, there is nothing missing from this accommodation, one of two in the owner's courtyard. A shared swimming pool (unheated) is available for those hot afternoons and the owner will cook you a meal on arrival, a bonus after a long day's travelling. Situalted within striking distance of several of the more interesting chateaux and about half an hour from Saumur we found this an ideal spot for exploring this part of the Loire Valley. Although quite a rural location, there are large supermarkets within a 10 or 15 mins drive. Walking up to see a red squirrel flying through the trees in the garden was a special treat!

“Great place to stay for couples or family holiday!” The Gite was lovely. The owners were very helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Location is great. Local town, Noyant, is close by and nice little town for useful amenities. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

“Excellent gite, spotlessly clean, very warm welcome, couldn't fault it.” Lovely place to stay. Claire and John were very wlecoming and gave helpful advice on places to visit, local markets and the best vinyards to buy wine. The gite was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and well equipped. Good location within easy reach of Loire Valley - wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for a quiet, comfortable break.
