Property Description

Conveniently located in Maine-et-Loire, by car about 20 min. from Saumur, 45 min. from Angers and 1 hour from Tours and by TGV just less than 2 hours from Paris. This recently completely restored house which dates back to approximately 1750, is located in the heart of a small (1,300 inhabitants) village that dates back till early 12th century when the first version of its cathedral was build. The village became a stop on the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela (17th century houses used by the pilgrims still exist) and is also part of the route de vignoble (The village has its own wine appellation. A nice book about the region is: The Most Beautiful Villages of the Loire by Hugh Palmer and Jeff Bentley)
