On the banks of the Mayenne is the award winning village of Chenillè-Changè, renowned for its heritage & floral displays, this village is a must see along the way. The 85km towpath is perfect for a daytime walk or an evening stroll or, for the more energetic, stop at one of the riding stables on route, saddle up & enjoy the scenery on horseback.

River Sarthe
The peaceful region of Anjou, just a few hours from Paris, benefits from a wonderful network of rivers, one of which is the Sarthe. Boasting castles & abbeys, flower adorned locks & châteaux’s, this broad & restful river gently flows under stunning stone bridges, travelling southerly towards Le Mans where it widens before joining the Mayenne River. Enjoy the peacefulness of the area whilst cruising along the river. There are endless opportunities for bird watching, walking or just enjoying the spectacular scenery. This region of France is an ideal location for a holiday afloat!
