Chambres d'hôtes L'Angeline

At the foot of the church and the Saint Eusèbe memorial in Gennes, stay at Domaine de L'Angeline, a bed and breakfast on the banks of the Loire with an uninterrupted view of the river and its valley.

L'Angeline, overlooking the village of Gennes, offers bed and breakfast accommodation with magnificent views over the Loire and surrounding countryside. Formerly the priory of Saint Eusèbe, this farmhouse adjoins the church of the same name and the Mémorial des Cadets de Saumur. Ideally situated between Saumur and Angers, this guest house can be the starting point for many tourist and sporting circuits. You'll discover a wide variety of landscapes along the banks of the Loire, and an extremely rich and varied architectural heritage spanning centuries of history and human activity (menhirs and dolmens, troglodyte dwellings, amphitheatre and remains of a Gallo-Roman village, mills, châteaux, churches and priories, etc.).

Until the 19th century, the Loire was the main, if not the only, route for trade and exchange - land routes were underdeveloped and unsafe. This was reflected in the transport of tuffeau - a noble limestone that is a sign of the Loire Valley's cultural identity - used to build countless stately homes, abbeys, towns and villages.
