Description of local area and activities: Les Verchers is a tiny village, but happily boasts a boulangerie serving scrummy cakes and breads, you will be served by a very friendly and completely French only speaking lady who will happily give you whatever you point to.
There is a huge supermaket....SuperU just five minutes away where you can buy everything you could possibly want from petrol to wine to cheese!
Doue la Fontaine boasts a number of shops, coffee bars and restaurants including two Troglodyte restaurants where you will enjoy a meal in a unique atmosphere and surroundings.
There are lots of bars and restaurants to choose from whether you just want to sit with a drink and watch the world go by or enjoy a scrumptious meal.
Many of the villages have festivals, particularly at vandage (harvest time). Great fun is had by all and you will be made very welcome. Everywhere you go the people are remarkably friendly and helpful, especially if you are brave enough to attempt some French.
Futurscope at Poitiers is a theme park packed with thrills and despite being an ideal day out for the children, it has plenty to entertain the 'big kid' in anyone with adventures for all ages. If you are looking for something out of the ordinary and seek thrills, this is the place for you. The night shows are fantastic!!
The region produces many exquisite wines from the world renowned Saumur Brut to the lesser known but delicious wines produced by the smaller wineries such as Jacki Clee's Domaine du Moulin de l'Horizon.
This includes several traditional wine producers, who will welcome you with a visit around the caves where they produce the wines, followed by tastings and the opportunity to buy at far cheaper prices than in the UK. Appointments are necessary for many of the visits to the wineries and we will happily arrange these for you.
Alternatively, if time is limited or you have small children who say "not another one!!", we can arrange a mixed case from several producers for you to try. Simply tell us the type of wine you like and we will have your case ready and waiting.
The region offers so many varied and beautiful places to visit that you will want to return time and time again. You can see everything from a rose garden (Les Chemins de la Rose) at Doue La Fontaine, to a Tank Museum at Saumur.
For somewhere out of the ordinary, why not pay a visit to MUSEE DU CHAMPIGNON just five kilometers from Saumur? A centre that cultivates 75% of the country's mushrooms!! You will visit the tufa caves, an experience never to be forgotten where the gourmets amongst you can enjoy a varied mushroom meal at lunch time.
On the South Bank in the suburb of St-Hilaire-St-Florent is the ECOLE NATIONALE d'EQUITATION ( the National Riding School) where the prestigious Cadre Noir stage very exciting equestrian shows.
