To help you plan your trip we recommand you visit

Follow the Loire river and visit its picturesque villages, like Saint Florent le Vieil or Chalonnes s/Loire, in search of antiques
Enjoy some wine tasting, from Nantes and its Muscadet, to less known but exquisite Coteaux du Layon, in the south of Angers. The Loire Valley wines’ names are like a poem: Anjou, Bourgueil,  Pouilly Fumé, Sancerre, Saumur, Touraine, Vouvray. And if you don’t know which one to pick, we suggest, along the Loire river, you visit the Domaine du Closel which produces acclaimed dry white wines from Savennières. And obviously, you'll have to try as well some French cheese!

There are many restaurants to explore and it is impossible

to mentione all of them. We can suggest 10 minutes away

the Restaurant la Diligence at Loiré.

Or along the Loire river, in the very picturesque village

of Béhuard, the most famous island on the Loire river

the Restaurant les Tonnelles

Still along the Loire river, and only open when they feel like,

Le Petit pêcheur (02.40.98.33.60 at Varades ) is one of

its best keep secrets.

Not far from us, we suggest as well you pay a visit to the studio of the Sculptor Lambert

who describes his work as the Forms of Silence...
