Located in a historic neighborhood by the Loire, you can easily access the "Loire à vélo" cycle track for leisurely bike rides or enjoy jogging and relaxing in the nearby park with tennis grounds.

Bikes are available free of charge for exploring the city, and you will have access to a designated area for bikes and garden furniture, as well as a washing machine. I am always here to assist you, whether you need advice on renting a car, special recommendations, or assistance with your visits.
