The town of Béhuard is the only island village on the Loire. This little gem of nature and history is located in the heart of the Loire Valley, listed as a UNESCO world heritage site, about fifteen kilometers southwest of Angers. You can explore the island on foot and discover its rich heritage, such as the Marian sanctuary of Notre-Dame de Béhuard, the Peace bell tower, traditional houses and gardens. You can also enjoy panoramic views of the river and its wildlife, and relax in one of the island's welcoming restaurants or cafes. The town of Béhuard is a place where you can feel the magic of the Loire and its culture.

Church of Our Lady of Béhuard

Highlight • Other

History of the Notre-Dame de Béhuard Chapel:
Built on a rock, one side of which still serves as a wall.
The Béhuard chapel includes a nave covered with a platform that characterizes the art of the 15th century, the Mauges granite altar is in harmony with the rock.
The nave, choir and side chapel are covered with a fallen hull-shaped frame. Two external stairs provide access to the church.
Worth seeing are the stained glass windows, the revered statue, the peace bell, the galley irons, the polychrome statues of the Virgin Mary and Saint Michael.

The chapel is open daily from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Béhuard and the Loire River

Highlight • River

It turns out that the edges of Maine, Mayenne, Loire, Sarthe, Authion etc. are flooded or very wet and impassable by bike, how can we know before leaving? Can there be plans B?
I am considering a 10-day hike from Saumur to Nevers via the banks of the Loire and currently it seems compromised...
Thank you for your ideas !

Loire Riverside Path

Highlight • Trail

This is a really beautiful path, right along the Loire.
It gets a bit narrow sometimes, but the firm, fine gravel makes it nice to ride.
