Holiday home in the Loire Valley
Le Grenier in Chevire le Rouge
What could be better than to relax and explore the delights of the Loire Valley from the comfort of an old stone farm house? Set in an exceptional position on the south western edge of the small pretty village of Cheviré le Rouge.
Le Grenier which seems to date back to the 1200's provides both peaceful accommodation and breathtaking views over the valley, fields and forest. Cheviré Le Rouge is unspoilt by commercial development, but big enough to supply hot croissants for breakfast, fresh bread for lunch and patisseries for dinner.
We are ranked in GitesdeFrance.info
The Loire region is now one of the worlds greatest touring areas and is enjoyed by visitors throughout the year. Cheviré le Rouge is in the perfect location for visiting the many chateaux, cathedrals, historic towns and tranquil villages of the Loire region. We are also close to many of the most famous vineyards in the Loire region. Principal areas are Chinon, Bourgeuil, Saumur, Sancerre and Pouilly. In these areas you will see scores of vineyards and caves, offering wine tasting and the opportunity to purchase quality wine at low prices. (more info on Loire Wines can be found on our Loire Valley page on this website). Angers is the home of the Cointreau distillery at
St Barthelemy D Anjou. Also well worth a visit!
Outside of Le Grenier is a quiet road which leads to miles of forest, ideal for cycling, walking or a picnic in the nature reserve. By the entrance to the forest are tennis courts, a lake for fishing and an area for boules. Early in the morning you may see the wild red deer that inhabit the forest. Apart from being a haven of natural beauty, where the air is clean and the surroundings tranquil, it's also not too remote. You may need groceries, a hairdresser and a post office, these too are all within a five minutes walk. By car, you can be in the local town of Baugé where you will find more shops and a large supermarket, or at one of the many local restaurants in as little as 10 minutes.

"Le Grenier is a credit to the owners who have added all those lovely homely touches. Many holiday gites are basic and uncomfortable....this is certainly not the case with Le Grenier. We liked being able to walk to the local boulangerie for our bread and croisants each morning. Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely home".
