CÔTÉ JARDIN

Garden-level gîte, sleeps 6, between Sablé-sur-Sarthe and Laval, in Mayenne

For a simple stay in the heart of the historic village of Chéméré-le-Roi. The Côté Jardin gîte is on the ground floor of a 19th-century building, opposite the town hall. You have access to the garden and a small terrace.
You're on the doorstep of the Sarthe, and Sablé-sur-Sarthe (20 min.), and 30 min from Laval or Château-Gontier.
Chéméré-le-Roi is a typical village, which has kept its marbled stone houses, with ochre renderings, and its narrow, winding streets... With the Fraternité Saint Vincent Ferrier, Chéméré-le-Roi is a place for spiritual retreats. The village has two churches: one historic, probably dating from the 11th and 12th centuries, and a second inaugurated in 2018.
Just 5km away, in the Coëvrons region, you can visit the prehistoric caves of Saulges, with its fun-filled museum retracing the occupation of humans and animals in prehistoric times, and its varied footpaths offering exceptional views. A calm and relaxing natural setting. Also, at the end of the valley, the restaurant La Taverne des Grottes (Saulges), a bucolic address even for a snack!
For shops and activities, Saint-Denis-du-Maine and Meslay-du-Maine are less than 10 minutes away.
In Chéméré: baguette vending machine in the town hall square.
