| Location |
4.5 hours by auto route from Calais. 4 hours by auto route from Bologne. 2.5 hours from Caen 2 hours from Paris. The house is very easy to find, just off the D7, outside the village of Thorigne En Charnie ½ an hour west of Le Mans. ½ an hour east of Laval. 20 minutes from Sable or Evron, both towns have weekly markets as well as a good selection of supermarkets etc. Full directions will be provided as soon as a booking is confirmed. You are ideally situated to explore the Mayenne or the Sarthe regions. Le Mans is just half an hour away, although famous for the 24 hour racing (June and July) there are events at the track from April to October, as well as an excellent motor museum. There is so much to see and do in this region, there is tourist information available in the cottage but a must would include: A visit to the caves and canyons at Saulges, this is literally 5 minutes away and is an amazing place. The caves of ‘Margot’ and ‘Rochefort’ were inhabited from the Paleolithic era, tours of the caves are available from April to October. There is also the beautiful shrine to Saint Cenere at Saulge, found in a very relaxing park with sports and swimming available in the summer months, with a creperie on site serving great food and drink. There is a magnificent chateau at Mezangers well worth a visit and a very excellent water park just outside the same village. Or you may be interested in the ancient Norman town of Jublains, with its fortress, hot baths, temple and theatre. There are many churches, abbeys, parks and gardens to visit or many forest circuits to walk or cycle. You could play golf, fly balloons, or hire a boat in Sable to cruise the Maine or Anjou rivers. The air is very clean in this region and as such the clear night skies offer the most excellent star gazing. Debra & David (the owners)can arrange to send you information on the local area after you have confirmed your booking or tell them what interests you and they will research it before your arrival. Shopping and eating out: There are several excellent local restaurants that your hosts Debra and David can introduce you to and they will be happy to provide directions to the best supermarkets as well as the local produce markets (all information is available in the cottage on arrival). |
