All new trips

When winter lays its cloak over the Mayenne, Laval is transformed into a showcase of lights. At the heart of this atmosphere, one event sets the tone: Les Lumières de Laval. For over 30 years, this not-to-be-missed holiday event has transformed the city into a veritable theater of light. Between the end of November and the beginning of January, facades are illuminated, streets come alive and eyes are filled with wonder. During a three-day getaway, rediscover this thousand-year-old city in its most beautiful winter light.

Between charming villages and living traditions, Mayenne awaits you for an authentic family adventure. Four days to discover the secrets of a land where passionate craftsmen, local producers and medieval castles create a living tableau. Welcome to a journey where young and old explore together, play as a family and savor the treasures of a generous land.

Here's a journey that begins with a smile. The one that gardens draw when they reveal their colors, villages when they tell their stories, craftsmen when they pass on their gestures. In Mayenne, four days is enough to understand that adventure isn't always where you expect it to be. Sometimes it's hidden in the simplicity of a picnic by the water or the rustle of leaves in a tree house.

A discreet little sister to the Loire Valley, the Loir Valley stretches between hillside vineyards and tufa stone houses set against the water. Here, there are no crowds or overcrowded sites, just an invitation to slow down, savour the moment, lose yourself in the narrow streets of a village or in the alleys of a garden or château. A weekend is all it takes to fall under its spell, but be warned: you'll certainly want to come back.

There are places where time can be read in stone. In Anjou, limestone holds the memory of those who chose to live between two worlds: the sun-drenched world above, and the world below, where the coolness of troglodyte cellars tells a thousand stories.

On the edge of the Vendée, a secret world is revealed to those who take the time to discover it. From the ramparts of Vouvant to the canals of the Marais Poitevin, from ancient cloisters to forest trails, let the fairy Mélusine be your guide. For two days, forget the hustle and bustle of the world and let yourself be carried away by the tranquil rhythm of a land that reveals itself only to the curious and attentive.

Where the horizon is but a thin line between sky and ocean, Les Sables d'Olonne invites you on a journey where salt settles on the skin like a tenacious memory. Here, the town and the sea are one, in a daily embrace under an often generous sky. Sandy beaches, hidden alleys adorned with shells, a wild coastline and bustling ports: the city breathes to the rhythm of the tides. Is a weekend enough to capture the essence of this maritime city where Vendée Globe skippers trace their dreams? Follow the wind and discover it for yourself.

Between Le Mans and Saumur, La Vélobuissonière traces its path like an invitation to escape. 130 kilometers where time stretches out, where rivers whisper stories that only slow-paced travelers can hear. From a flower-filled lock to a picturesque village, from a medieval castle to a waterside guinguette, nature and history intertwine at every turn. An enchanted interlude where the ordinary becomes extraordinary.
