La Croix de Noel
About the home
Located on the edge of a pretty village with all amenities and an 11th century church, the apartment is suitable for a couple wanting to visit the châteaux of the Loire Valley, near Saumur, Angers and Tours, near the vineyards of Bourgeuil, Chinon and Saumur in a relaxing setting. Horse riding, walking, fishing or simply just relaxing.
Saumur is the home of the Cadre Noir Cavalry Regiment and the National Riding School of France, so that in addition to the many cultural events, there are many equestrian events. The nearest public swimming pools are at Noyant and Le Lude.

The Loire Valley / Maine-et-Loire region


The Loire Valley, also known as the Garden of France, boasts a micro-climate which gives us warm summers and generally mild winters. The Kings of France built their châteaux here, so they obviously knew a thing or two! Château visits are a must when you come to the area, so too are the vineyards for wine-tasting and if you enjoy the wines why not take some local ones home as a reminder of a great holiday.
The Vernantes / Mouliherne area
The area is eminently suitable for cycling, walking, horse riding, fishing and just generally "chilling out". Golfers please note we have many excellent golf courses, one of the best is located 13 km from the house. We are about 1.5 hours drive from Futuroscope at Poitiers, two hours drive from the wonderful beach of La Baule, an easy drive with good autoroute links. Visit Tours with its wonderful old town and of course good shopping, or Angers with its Château and incredible Tapestry of the Apocalypse.
The village itself has a baker, butcher, two bars one of which does meals, and a separate little restaurant. There are several brocantes and "Vide-greniers" held throughout the year in the village and in others around.
