The countryside around La
Flèche is very pleasing - a bit like Hampshire but drier and dotted with chateaux and
vineyards

It's possible to buy lovely
properties with land - ideal for horses - it's very horsey here with numerous equestrian
centres

Fantastic golf courses
nearby. Baugé , Sablé - Solesmes & Sept Tours

We're in the 'Pays de la
Loire' region famous for Chateaux, Wine & Heritage. Check out these names for wine:
Jasnières (white), St. Nicolas de Bourgeuil (red), Coteaux de Layon (dessert or foie
gras companion)

Based on the tributary river of Le Loir, which
runs in to La Loire, this place has lots of charm and is not so touristy that it is
expensive and crawling with Brits. Take the restaurants here for example, they are
fabulous - real French food at sensible prices
