Camping Les Voiles d'Anjou

The Valley of the Kings... the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Loire Valley is in the Anjou region and filled with cultural and historical heritage – well, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site after all... The Camping Les Voiles d'Anjou team recommends mixing up your Loire Valley châteaux and visiting the most famed as well as the hidden treasures, and those dating from medieval to Renaissance times (French history and culture will come as standard, of course...). Have a look at the Château de Saumur, rebuilt by Henry 2; Breze with its underground tunnels; the medieval castle of Angers and its tapestry of the apocalypse; Brissac, the highest castle in France; Montreuil-Bellay and its medieval village; Sleeping Beauty film inspiration Ussé, and Le Plessis Bourre, known from the film Peau d'Ane. Nearby Saumur is on the border of the Anjou and Touraine provinces: go here for the Combier distillery (home to the creators of Cointreau and Grand Marnier); the Saint Nicolas and Saint Pierre churches; the biggest armour museum in Europe, and the Cadre Noir - the cavalry school with tours and performances throughout the year. Plenty of vineyards are in the Loire Valley too, with regional wines including Saumur-Champigny, Layons and Savennière.
