Loire Riverside Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Flat, pretty views over the Loire and the pretty houses overlooking it. Better to have the wind in the back.

Nice spot with picnic tables for a quiet break. The Belle Poule levée is rarely used by cars and gives a beautiful view of the Loire. From this spot it is also possible to reach the edge of the Authion.

Les Ponts-de-Cé Castle

Highlight • Castle

A group of "sailors" get their typical Loire boats afloat at Les Ponts-de-Ce. By the way a nice promenade with a restaurant at the end of the promenade.

Clos des Vignes Mediterranean Garden

Highlight • Natural

Overlooking the banks of the Loire and facing due south, this garden gives the impression of a journey through space and time by transporting us to the south. The famous mildness of Anjou has allowed Mediterranean plants and trees to adapt perfectly to the local environment. But after all, this only anticipates the current warming by a few years or decades. To be seen without doubt under a beautiful sun to benefit from the illusion. Free and open access.

Angers Castle

Highlight • Castle

The Château d'Angers, also called the Château des Ducs d'Anjou, dominates the Maine on its rocky promontory. Built in the 13th century under the orders of Louis IX, it was transformed into a stately residence by the Dukes of Anjou in the 15th century. The castle, its 17 defensive towers and its moat transformed into gardens can be visited all year round.
