Situated just off the D357 and 3 kms from exit one of the A81, we are ideally placed for touring this beautiful region of France. Among some of the many places to visit is Le Mans, home to the famous 24 hour race circuit and automobile museum. The superb golf course at Solesmes, is of International standing and is known to be one of the most beautiful in France. The troglodyte houses at Saumer are a must. The Loire famous for its regal history, has many wonderful chateaux to visit. One of the many Medieval villages near by is St Suzanne, here you can take in the breathtaking scenery or meander down one of the many walking trails. There are several large lakes close by which offer beaches, water sports, restaurants and much more.
