Now let me give you a few good reasons

The angevine sweetness in Montjean-sur-Loire



Montjean - on - the Loire



 

Lodging in Anjou 
Montjean-sur-Loire is 25 km away from Angers towards Nantes 

The ledgendary “Angevine Sweetness” is not an usurped slogan. 

Enjoying an ideal geographical location and thanks to the Atlantic benefits,  a mild climate, never too hot – and reasonably wet, the Maine et Loire département ranks among the twenty first départements of France and the first in the half northern part of France as far as the weather is concerned :  a good average between sun, temperature and rain. 



The Loire was classified in the humanity world inheritance by the UNESCO

 

Lodging: access to the Loire in front of the lodging


The lodging provides you with a direct access to the Loire

Sight in front of the lodging upstream

Sight upstream …

Sight in front of the lodging downstream


 

… and sight downstream of the Loire in front of the lodging. 


Favourite river of the kings of France and white terns, the Loire brought everything to the Anjou region or almost everything.

It irrigated the province with precious materials, major monuments,
new ideas and of course with sand alluvia favouring the blossoming of flower and market-gardening cultures.

Prosperity but also overflows of a river often called “last wild river in Europe”.

Whatever it looks like, something is sure : the Loire is here at the top of its beauty. A beauty which was observed by the highest international authorities : the Loire valley was registered by the end of 2000 amongst the humanity world inheritance by the UNESCO.



 

Anjou-Saumur vineyard spreads along the river from East to West and stretches on its southern edge around two rivers : the Layon and the Aubance.
With 20 000 hectares, it is the most spread of the Loire Valley.

Lodging in the vineyard 


 

Forming a mosaic of soils, there are 28 vine appelations . 2 types of vines are dominating : the chenin for the white wines, Coteaux du Layon, Bonnezeaux and Quarts de Chaumen coteaux de l’Aubance, Savennières... the Cabernet for the red wines, Anjou, Saumur, Saumur-Champigny and for the rosé wines, Cabernet d’Anjou, Rosé de Loire and Rosé d’Anjou.

The soils are mainly schistous and argilo-limestone. Wines of ceremony, festival wines, long guard wines, others to be cool drunk under the arbours, the Anjou wines and the Saumur wines go very well with all the desires. Around a good wine, people feel like talking and the minds are relaxing, and we are not only talking about the wine, we are sharing about a culture.




Fishing in the Loire - a gold mine for the fishermen!



Montjean - on - the Loire 


 

Montjean-sur-Loire bridge 

In Montjean-sur-Loire, the Loire is a real gold mine for the fishermen. Its waters holds numerous fish species : gardons, carps, pikes, sandre, silures...

Everyone, from crackling fisherman to carnivore fisherman, can appease his passion! Whether you are a beginner fisherman or a competitor fisherman, the Loire in Montjean-sur-Loire always reserves you some nice catches... or surprises !

 

 

 

A pike caught by Yves Thoueille


 

Here is what I sincerely wish you :
Fishing, as I did, in front of the house a wonderful pike !

This pike used to be 1.08m long and weighed 16 pounds !

A real delight to fish and to cook.
The pike with a “beurre blanc” -- special sauce with butter, échalottes...--
is a pure cooking wonder.
It is a delicious speciality of the edges of the Loire.
