We love to relax in the sun with a glass of wine & some local cheese and soak up the view and rural tranquility. With a market on each day of the week in one of the nearby towns, Fresnay Sur Sarthe, Conlie, Le Mans, Beaumont Sur Sarthe and others, there is plenty of opportunity to buy local produce for your meals. Take a day to travel the hour or so to the Loire Valley and its chateaux & wineries, somewhat closer is the smaller-scale, though no less beautiful, Loir Valley.
