Come and discover historical, cultural unusual and exceptional places. Time for a visit. Be your own guide. You will be captivated by the beauty, charm and character of the region:

• The Château d’Angers and its Tenture de l’Apocalypse (Apocalypse Tapestry), a masterpiece unique in the world, and the inhabited castles in the region
• Terre du Cheval (horse riding land). The Cadre Noir de Saumur equestrian display team performs shows embodying a faraway dream.
• Anjou wine in the heart of the Loire Valley vineyards: 30 appellations and 20,000 hectares!
• The Basses Vallées Angevines: recognised as one of the most beautiful and richest natural wetland regions in Europe (Natura 2000 classified).
• It is said that the Anjou region has an ‘empty stomach’. On the plains and in the heart of the Saumur hills, there are cave dwellings everywhere. Since the 12th century, local inhabitants have been digging in the ground to extract the white stone (tufa), which is used for building the fine castles of the Loire. Thousands of kilometres of tunnels make the region the largest concentration of cave dwellings in France.
  The Loire – for lovers of majestic scenery.
