The church, located in the village of Saint-Rémy-la-Varenne, dates from the first half of the 11th century and was then dependent on the Abbey of Saint-Aubin d'Angers; its rich past is reflected in its architecture. We enter the vaulted chapel (added to the original building in the 19th century) with the baptismal font. We discover the nave, which is connected to a bay whose 13th century vault rests on older walls. We then enter the choir, the only part of the building with a 12th century vault, where we can admire the ceiling with a pointed barrel vault. Outside the church, we see the Benedictine priory of Saint-Rémy-la-Varenne, a picturesque building founded in 929 that was formerly dependent on the Abbey of Saint-Aubin d'Angers. This church, open from Easter to All Saints' Day, is part of the network of "Reception churches in Anjou" open to the public.

The Fête du Thoureil, a festival of Loire barges, is an Angevin tradition that takes place every year in spring on the banks of the Loire at Thoureil, in Maine-et-Loire, between Saumur and Angers. The programme includes barges and old Loire sailing ships, and Loire festivities. It is considered the first festival of Loire barges between Nantes and Tours.

We can finally see the Loire! A very pretty passage through the village.

Very beautiful view of the Loire

Along the Loire, there are plenty of places to stop and enjoy the view. This is one of them. A pleasant spot to rack up the kilometers by bike.

The Courcy forest is home to unique flora and its sandy paths give it a moorland feel. There is a quantity of broom and heather and an abundance of small game. Not far from Brain-sur-Allonnes, the forest is home to medieval and Gallo-Roman ruins, easily accessible by an interpretation trail.

Pond in the middle of the park. Rich fauna and flora.

Saint-Rémy-la-Varenne is a small town perched on the left bank of the Loire, between Saumur and Angers. The town is best known for its magnificent priory dating from the 10th century. In the center, a grocery store and a gîte are open.
