General presentation
Mauges and the Anjou bocage
A hilly countryside, a nearby Loire, villages, mills, quiet paths and rural heritage.
The discovery of Maguges and angevin bocage revolves around Bocage, Bords de Loire and Rural Villages. The stay thus alternates between the countryside, the riverscapes and the heritage, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: discreet tourist offer. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Garden
Parc oriental de Maulévrier
Maulévrier's Eastern Park features a delicate landscape architecture between perspectives, paths and rest points. You enter it like in a scenic garden: first the axes, then the more hidden discoveries. It's a space where light and movement are better than too heavy a route.
Village
Saint-Florent-le-Vieil
Saint-Florent-le-Vieil combines a city that is stretched and views of its hinterland, with crossing points that tell the daily life of the place. The route is well read by alternating center and peripheral approach. The details of the streets and of the Loire River give an impression of a very incarnate journey.
Village
Montrevault-sur-Èvre
Montrevault-sur-Evre is discovered by its river banks, bridges and streets laid in the gentle relief of the Maguges. The village gained in interest when you left the facades to reach the roads near the Evre, where water, trees and ancient walls gave a more intimate picture of the bocage.
