natural paradise

Located next to the Lac de Rillé , a lake designated by the Council of Europe as a special wetlands for migratory birds, and adjacent to mixed forest which stretches all the way to the Loire Valley, this is an ideal location for bird watching, fishing, cycling and walking, or canoeing on the lake. A fishing boat and bikes available for hire.

Away from it all

Our  gite is  part of the property called 'Les Mousseaux' an old farm and watermill on the River Lathan, which still flows through the grounds.  Enjoy our wildlife pond and the hectare of permaculture gardens brimming with wildlife.

Or enjoy trips out to the beautiful tranquil towns and chateaux of the Loire, like Saumur, Langeais, Chinon or Chenonceau.

'the garden of france'

Appropriately called the 'garden of France', the Loire Valley is a patchwork of rich agricultural land and beautiful forests, where life seems frozen in time and local farmers still work the fields and forests in the old ways.

Enjoy the permaculture gardens and secluded picnic areas by the river, or relax among sub tropical plants in our orangery. If you rise early you may see the blue flash of  kingfishers on the river, hear the golden oriole and hoopoes and watch the frogs and newts in the river and pond.

a real holiday

Our property  offer full facilities with free internet wifi, modern kitchen and bathroom and all you would expect in a modern holiday location,  here is is somewhere you can truly relax and escape.  

There is a  barbecue for eating 'al fresco', a picnic table and chairs in several locations, and hammocks for a sunny afternoon  relaxing in the orchard out of the hot sun.

"This is a small cottage, ideal for two people who want to get away from the hustle and bustle but be close enough to the chateaux of the Loire for easy exploration. The pictures on the web do not do justice to place, it really is idyllic, in a lovely setting and just so quiet and peaceful. Adrian and Sally are delightful hosts and their collection of animals a joy. Lovely fruit and vegetables from the garden and great walks in the area. "
