Things
to see and do
Les Peupliers
is located close to Saumur, within a triangle between Nantes and Tours (both
fascinating places to visit and both with direct flights to the UK) and Le
Mans, which of course is famous for its motor racing. Each is within easy
driving distance.
The chateau
at Saumur is reputed to be the inspiration for Walt Disney's fairy tale castle.
The town itself is just as charming with its splendid medieval buildings,
bustling market, National
Riding
School, tank museum and cafes. Close by is also the famous Cointreau Museum
and C.B.G.Mignot Collection of lead soldiers. The Loire river offers plenty
of opportunities for the more energetic by way of its many water sports.
The area
is renowned for its excellent wines, including Bourgueil, Cremant de Loire
and Chinon & Saumur-Champigny, and no stay is complete without visiting
a cellar and sampling
some of
them! Whether relaxing by our large heated pool, reading in the shade of the
chestnut trees, sampling fine cuisine, improving your culinary skills, being
pampered with beauty treatments, attending art classes, or simply borrowing
bicycles to cycle the poplar-lined, country road into the village, we aim
to make your stay at Les Peupliers a relaxing and enjoyable one.
