St martin du fouilloux

Saint-Martin-du-Fouilloux is a small village in the Maine-et-Loire department, around fifteen kilometres west of Angers, in the heart of the Loire Valley château region. The village sits within a typical Anjou rural landscape of hedgerows and farmland, close to the Savennières vineyards and the banks of the Loire. It is particularly known for hosting Golf d'Anjou, an eighteen-hole course popular with golfers from across the region, set among woodland and water features. Its peaceful, green surroundings make it a convenient base for exploring the area, including Angers with its château, the Anjou vineyards, and the Loire riverbanks, which hold UNESCO World Heritage status. Its proximity to Angers provides easy access to shops, services and cultural events while retaining a tranquil, countryside feel. Local tourism tends to focus on nature, golf, cycling along the Loire à Vélo routes, and day trips to nearby wine villages. Saint-Martin-du-Fouilloux is well suited to travellers seeking a quiet stay in the Anjou countryside, within easy reach of the main Loire Valley attractions, offering a restful alternative to busier tourist towns in the region.
