France of poets
In Anjou, between the Atlantic, the Loire Valley and Brittany, lies "La Douce France" – the lovely France of poets. Take a trip on one of our boats on the rivers Mayenne, Sarthe and Oudon and discover the Anjou region with its rich gastronomy and history. Don't miss the cities of Angers, Laval, Mayenne and Le Mans. The Sarthe is a calm river, suitable for beginner skippers. During the cruise you can enjoy the green countryside with picturesque villages, visit the elegant chateau of Plessis Bourré, the historic centre of Le Mans, the imposing Benedictine abbey of Solesmes or Malicorne, the porcelain capital.
The river La Mayenne is adorned with small villages with mansions, private castles and ancient mills. Make a stop in the royal town of Angers or in Entrammes, where you can visit the abbey or the "Port-Salut" cheese factory. In Laval, you will find a museum of naive drawings.
