Les ulmes

Les Ulmes is a small village in the Maine-et-Loire department, in the Anjou region, located between Angers and Saumur in the heart of the Loire Valley. The village is best known as the home of Terra Botanica, a theme park dedicated to the plant world, which draws numerous visitors each year and serves as a local landmark. The surrounding countryside forms part of the Anjou wine-growing landscape, with rolling hillsides and vineyards typical of the Loire Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The area offers a peaceful rural setting, ideal for walking or cycling along country lanes bordered by vines. Nearby Saumur is worth visiting for its château, troglodyte cellars and renowned riding school, while Angers offers richer urban heritage and cultural attractions. The climate is mild and temperate, with gentle summers and relatively soft winters, well suited to spring and summer breaks. Les Ulmes therefore makes a quiet and convenient base for exploring the vineyards, historic towns and natural sites of the Anjou region.
