Hiking - On the slopes of Savennières
Wander between sun-drenched hillsides and flat terrain, stopping for a tasting in the Savennières vineyards, renowned for their dry wines.
Tourist attractions :
- The town of Savennières revolves around the church of Saint-Pierre et Saint-Romain, considered to be the oldest standing Christian building in Anjou.
- The Bécherelle stone, located downstream from the confluence of the Loire and Maine rivers and facing the northern tip of the Ile de Béhuard, is a huge, ancient natural monolith that has become a rock-climbing site.
- The picturesque little village of Épiré lies halfway between Savennières and Bouchemaine. Its former church is now privately owned and houses the winery of the Château d'Épiré wine estate.
- This is a very pleasant walk to take in spring and late summer, as you can see the various stages of vineyard work among the rows of vines.

- Picnic tables in Place du Mail and Parc du Fresnes
Practical information :
