The Loire Valley / Maine-et-Loire region

The Loire Valley is known for its temperate climate - which is why all the Kings built their holiday homes here.
A great choice of wines, an ideal climate for growing anything from Asparagus, Strawberries and Melons and a big variety of activities to keep your children happy!

The Chateaux of Chambord, Chenonceau, Azay le Rideau, Villandry and the Vineyards of Chinon, Bourgeuil and Saumur are just waiting to be discovered!

As well as the Cadre Noir in Saumur - a very good Haute Ecole Horse presentation.

The Saumur area

The area is rich in history, culture and being a UNESCO heritage site you will find the Loire Valley a great place for nature lovers.

Our Gites are in an ideal spot for visiting the Loire Valley, close to a large village with supermarket, boulangerie, butcher, pharmacy etc...but sitting quietly in the countryside.

“Great place to stay for a great holiday” We stayed at La Bagatelle for a fortnight during August 2011. The gite is lovely - everything was spotless and worked flawlessly. Pool was great and the kids enjoyed swimming nearly everyday. The location is good for visiting lots of different places, by the end of our stay we felt we'd barely scratched the surface and are visiting the area again this year! The hosts are lovely and you are assured of a warm welcome.

“Absolutely brilliant, fabulous house, clean and well looked after, excellent location.” We have stayed at Gites in France in the past and were so disappointed that we stopped. I decided to try again last year, we were far from disappointed and I am converted back to staying in Gits, but only provided they are the same quality as La Bagatelle. When we arrived we were made extremely welcome and were delighted with the property, it was modern, well decorated and impeccably clean. We wanted for nothing during our stay and had the comfort of knowing the owners were near by if needed. The Gite is in a perfect location whether you want to travel or stay local. I would certainly stay again and definitely recommend it to others.

Guestbook for La Bagatelle

"Many thanks to Samantha and Lionel for such a warm welcome, and for the perfect gite for our first visit to the Loire Valley. Nothing we visited disappointed, but some of our favourites were :
Chateau de Montsoreau, interesting displays and a super 'quest' for the kids.
Turquant, we got to try glass-blowing, and Bistrogo fed us perfect omelettes
Ackerman - atmospheric wine-making exhibition, and delicious, reasonably priced wine
L'Helice Terrestre - eccentric and more than a little bohemian. Wear trainers and take a torch!
Fontevraud - just loved this, and the kids guide is an adorable free souvenir
Tank Museum at Saumur - a total departure from everything else, and full of history
Gennes Amphitheatre - lovely short walk though the woods and near the Loire river
Looking at our tourist guide now and realising how much more there is do around here - we will be back!

"Arrived here not knowing the area at all and with 2 small children in tow! Swimming pool a godsend! The area is just stunning and we seemed to do so much :
Candes St Martin - beautiful village, stunning views at the top.
Bike hire in Saumur Nord by the station fabulous
Saumur - Montsoreau
Saumur - Gennes bike tracks very clear and safe with some stunning views by the Loire river and through vineyards.
Troglodyte in Rochemenier great for kids. Lovely café nearby with great crepes!
Azay le Rideau chateau super and lovely town
Nearby supermarket to La Bagatelle and shops wonderful.
Samantha and Lionel ensure a super, relaxing stay at their excellent gite, we'll definitely be returning!"

"We feel we needed to send you a little note to say what a wonderful time all our family had, the Gite was just what was needed, La Bagatelle is delightful and you are wonderful hosts - we hope to be back to see you all in 2012!"

"Thank you so much for making us feel especially welcome and for George's birthday cake surprise! We all loved the Gite and you, the dogs and the horses. Saumur is a super little town, we visited sooo many Chateaux and Vineyards, the Puy de Fou was excellent for the children, the Zoo at Doué the best we have been to, your recommendation to visit Pornic on the coast was just great, Futuroscope at Poitiers was a different experience for the children - I could go on and on about all the places to visit and things to do - we just didn't have enough time in 2 weeks !! Not forgetting fishing in the lake, which George wanted to do every day! We hope to see you again very soon....."

"Having not stayed in a Gite before we were slightly concerned ....all our worries disappeared as soon as you met us as we saw La Bagatelle. A lovely; lovely property, with great hosts. We enjoyed all your recommendations of restaurants and places to visit. Particularly Brissac chateau and the Troglodyte houses! We now recommend to all of our friends!"
