Le Moulin de St Blaise

What exactly is in store when you go down the Route des Vignobles (15 minutes’ walk)? Well, you’ll be able to either walk, cycle or drive your way around the wine route, filling your shopping bag with local wines such as Jasnieres and Coteaux du Loir or sipping as you go along. The closest winemaker to the site is in Cahaignes (five minutes' drive), by the way… Now, you won’t want to go too far overboard, as there's lots to do by way of energetic activities around this area, whether that’s swimming, canoeing and archery around Marçon's lake and beach (10 minutes), golfing at the closest golf course (45 minutes) or walking and cycling through the Forêt de Bercé (15 minutes). For a glimpse into the past, the Loire Valley (an hour and 20 minutes), you’ll be able to take a close look at the architectural heritage and its collection of castles known as the Châteaux of the Loire Valley. Meanwhile, there are two cathedral cities within reach too: Tours (50 minutes) and Le Mans (50 minutes). Each has a historical centre and the latter is a staple on the racing calendar in case you’re scouting out horse racing events.
