Stay in Anjou
Offered by my colleagues when I retired, we were pleasantly surprised by the Domaines visits, and by the quality of the welcome and presentation.
The accommodation is exceptional, with a warm and friendly welcome from the owners, in a breathtaking setting, with a beautiful troglodyte room tastefully decorated. The Chenin restaurant, with its refined cuisine and perfect service, is to be recommended.
