Seeking a stay somewhere sedate in western France? Enter Slow Village Loire Vallée, a three-hectare site scattered with woodland and orchards that puts a focus on leisurely living in pretty Les Ponts-de-Cé. Pause by the 3,000-square-metre swimming complex at the park or loiter next to the Loire river – this wending waterway a few metres away is just the spot for renting a canoe and sailing off on an adventure (or just wandering across the trails along the banks). Rendezvous near the site for a meal at the Guinguette En Rouge et Loire restaurant, just outside the gates and open all day long, or rest up with a natural organic wine and craft beer on the terrace under the oak trees. Keen on cooking? Pick up ingredients at the Friday morning market in Ponts de Cé; the village also has food and drink shops including a wine merchant, deli and patisserie. When not filling up on French fare, pootle around the park in search of activities like tennis, pétanque and football. There are also playgrounds for the youngest members of your tribe and rental bikes for relaxed rides on the Loire à Vélo trail leaving right by the site and into the countryside. Ambles around Angers are also on the cards from here as the city’s a 15-minute drive away, and thrill-seekers can venture a little further to the Anjou Wake Park (20 minutes) for adrenaline-fuelled activities in the water.

Local attractions

With its culinary culture, historical heritage and sporting activities, the Loire valley is a prime place for a varied trip in western France. Head to this area to experience the wine traditions of Anjou in the surrounding vineyards or to wander around the world-class castles. After some activities for the nippers? Take a trip to a theme park – Europe’s largest, Terra Botanica, is 20 minutes’ drive away, and other nearby spots of note include Château de Brissac (15 minutes) for tours of this towering ninth-century structure and its Apocalypse Tapestry. Angers’ old town, a place of half-timbered homes like the opulent Maison des Artisans and the twin-spired Cathédrale St-Maurice, is also close by to satisfy sightseers seeking history. Stick around for coffee in the centre after a stroll or, in the warmer months, retreat to the restaurant by the gates of Slow Village Loire Vallée and settle in for musical entertainment ranging from techno and jazz to rock and electro.
