The first day

cultured broth

Take a trip on a traditional flat-bottomed gabarre or toue boat to discover the banks of the Loire, Mayenne and Sarthe rivers.

Once back in the city, enjoy a visit to the museums of Angers – The Jean Lurçat and Contemporary Tapestry Museum is particularly worth a visit.

Then set out to explore Anjou’s castles and châteaux with a visit to Château d’Angers or even that of Plessis Macé.

Second day

nature getaway

Things to do in nature? There are plenty of things for seniors to do on foot or by bike.

You should love visiting the Terra Botanica where you can discover 500,000 plants from around the globe, or a visit to the Jardin des Plantes botanical garden down town.

Third day

local products on the menu!

This next idea for seniors is one involving food and wine! At the end of the day, after having strolled the streets of the city’s historic centre, sample the dishes of one of Angers’ talented chefs and taste local delicacies, served with wines from the local Anjou wine region.

A trip to the vineyards of Savennières makes another great change of scenery. You can meet dedicated local winegrowers and take part in a tasting or two.
