Grez Neuville Base - Anjou France

Grez-Neuville is ideally situated to explore the Mayenne and the Oudon. This charming village lies on the banks of the Mayenne, a winding river flowing through wild and wooded countryside. On your way, you'll notice a large number of private castle and old windmills. Stop off at Angers, the city of King René and home of Cointreau : the fortress here is said to be one of the most beautiful in France.

Entrammes is well worth a stop for its abbey and "Port du Salut" cheesemakers. The Museum of Naive Art is at Laval, home also to Henri Rousseau. From the "Lion d'Angers" the river Oudon will take you along to Segré

The attractions :

  • locks open all year round
  • numerous riverside villages
  • waterways devoted entirely to pleasure cruising
  • relatively few locks
  • mild climate
  • varied countryside

How to get to the base :

  • Less than 2 hours from Paris by TGV (Angers Trainstation). Grez Neuville is served by the A 11 motorway.
