View of the Loire

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.

Belle Poule

Highlight • Other

Nice spot with picnic tables for a quiet break. The Belle Poule levée is rarely used by cars and gives a beautiful view of the Loire. From this spot it is also possible to reach the edge of the Authion.

Flat, pretty views over the Loire and the pretty houses overlooking it. Better to have the wind in the back.

Le Thoureil Village

Highlight • Settlement

On the south bank of the Loire, the village stretches, between wedges and hillside, its beautiful tufa houses and traditional boats. Le Thoureil has a rich historical and architectural heritage which has earned it a Petite Cité de Caractère label. It is an emblematic Loire Valley landscape listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
