Country Retreat near Le Mans: 8 Guests, Near Zoo, Cycle Paths, and More!
Former farmhouse in the middle of a working farm. Spacious and relaxing 200 m² house for 8 people, close to the A11 motorway (exit 10 or 11) between Le Mans and Angers. Completely renovated, very bright, with dual aspect windows, located in the heart of the countryside near the Loir River between Durtal (49) and Bazouges Cré sur Loir (72). Ideal for visiting La Flèche Zoo and enjoying the "greenway" between Durtal and La Flèche, connected to a network of cycle paths leading to Le Lude, Baugé, and La Suze.
On the ground floor: a living room (TV), a bedroom/sitting room with a pull-out bed for 2 people, an entrance hall with WC, a large kitchen/dining room (dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave), a utility room with washing machine, all opening onto a terrace. Upstairs: 1 large bedroom with a double bed, 1 bathroom, 1 WC and an adjoining dressing room; 2 bedrooms, each with 2 single beds, 1 shower, 1 WC, all opening onto a spacious landing.

Visit Angers and its colossal medieval castle (45 km), home to the largest and oldest tapestry in the world: the Apocalypse Tapestry. Also visit Le Mans and its old town (50 km), as well as its 24 Hours Museum near the legendary racetrack! And of course: the Loire Valley châteaux (Saumur, etc.), Fontevraud Abbey (45 km), and we're only 1 hour and 30 minutes from the world-famous Puy du Fou theme park.
