Nature
There is no doubt the sky looks favourably on Anjou: mild winters, warm summers and a landscape made rich through the diversity of soils, traditions, history and ever-changing colours.
Anjou is a land of gardens and vineyards and orchards.
Anjou is a land of rivers. First of all the majestic Loire, favourite river of the Kings of France. Responsible for ideas of grandeur and prosperity and known as the last untamed river of Europe it is officially proclaimed a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
And of course the more romantic rivers like the Sarthe, the Mayenne and the Loir with lovely historic villages at their banks. Here you can rent boats and kayaks or follow the footpaths near the rivers or just relax at sandy beaches.
Guided boat trips on the rivers – some are offered with lunch or dinner aboard, are also a magical way to enjoy this beautiful nature.
Anjou is a land of forests—like the ancient royal forests with plenty of footpaths crisscrossing the hills.
Anjou is a land of caves. Like many other châteaux in Anjou, Château de la Buronnière is built from Tuffeau, a shining yellow-white stone, formed 90 million years ago. The excavation of these stones left a network of galleries beneath the ground: today these are cellars, art galleries, museums and zoos.
