Loire à vélo - Visits and sightseeing between Nantes and Angers

Make the most of your stay at the hotel-restaurant and re-trace the Vendée's wars on foot or by bike.


The marked hiking trails in St Florent le Vieil begin on Saint-Florent's old embankment at the foot of the famous 17th century abbey-church. The trail follows the Loire river to the mouth of the river Evre.
Along this nature trail you will discover the treasures of the region and walk in the footsteps of our ancestors in the chateaux, abbey churches and numerous chapels along the way.
Why not stop off and visit Notre Dame du Marillais and admire the stained glass windows that commemorate the Vendée's wars. Then take the marked country paths to the place known as « les Fourneaux ».
Discover the area of Maine et Loire and Anjou during your stay in Saint Florent le Vieil.
Less than an hour from Nantes and Angers, the hotel-restaurant la Gabelle is ideally situated on a crossroads between two regions.
Discover the history and traditions of the locals, music festivals, parks and gardens, Puy du Fou theme park, war museum in the Vendée and the heritage of the Pays des Mauges.
