Tiny Stay Ecolodge

Got an affinity for water-based activities? You don’t need to be mermaid level to make the most of the water around here. There’s trout fishing at The Hubeau Mill (10 minutes’ drive) for those of you who prefer to stay on the shore. Fishing’s just one of the pursuits you’ll have on-hand at Lac de la Monnerie (20 minutes) too, where walking and cycling, swimming and sailing are just as popular. For something that will test your balance a little more, Anjou Wake Park (55 minutes) has lessons waterskiing, wakeboarding or kneeboarding. Into the animal world… firstly, there are the enclosures of Zoo de la Flèche (10 minutes). Then, there’s the wildlife-packed Réserve naturelle régionale des marais de Cré-sur-Loir et La Flèche (10 minutes) for more animals wandering around (just grab your binoculars and set off). A more historical trip is not far away from here either, whether that’s behind the medieval fortifications at Château de Baugé (15 minutes) or Château de Bazouges (15 minutes) or inside Tours (an hour and 10 minutes), where you’ll be able to tour the cathedral, museums and historical square.
