Slow down in Saumur and its surroundings

A winter in slow mode

Winter is a good time to slow down, take care of yourself and others and enjoy moments of conviviality. We offer you a selection of ideas to recharge your batteries: in nature, with inspired artisans or around local delicacies. All in a peaceful and authentic setting of your choice.

Winter hikes

Reconnect with nature

This winter, we find our energy in nature along the hiking trails offered by the Saumur Val de Loire destination. We opt for a walk in the forest, ideal for gleaning some natural elements, pine cones, berries, branches... which could why not decorate your festive tables? We admire the morning mist on the Loire, a real invitation to contemplation. We marvel at the frosty vegetation, suddenly transformed into thousands of small ephemeral sculptures. Enough to create lovely memories!

Local know-how

Meet passionate artists & artisans

To draw their inspiration and develop their creativity, many of them have settled in the heart of the Loire Valley. Hit the roads to discover the local know-how that makes the destination so rich: ceramics, illumination, jewelry, sewing, carpentry, weather vanemaking... Take the time to admire unique works created with poetry and delicacy. It’s also an opportunity to stock up on sustainable gift ideas to please your loved ones.

Savor local products

For a successful sensory journey, we favor the short circuit by turning to products from our region. Taste jams, honey, goat cheeses, organic spreads, mushroom products, biscuits & cakes... A veritable anthology of delicacies that will enhance your holiday menus. Products to enjoy on site or to take away to remember the good taste memories accumulated during your stay.

Take care of yourself

When the cold sets in, there's nothing better than treating yourself to a moment of intense relaxation. We take the time to refocus, to reconnect with our emotions and we let go. Your mind and body will thank you for giving yourself this break. We'll let you discover our favorites...

Disconnect in a cocoon

Finding your winter shelter

During the winter period, we return to the essential: taking the time to live and recharge our batteries with loved ones. For this, we offer you a selection of cozy nests where it is nice to gather around the fireplace after a long invigorating walk. We thus find welcome comfort in these real cocoons imbued with warmth and authenticity and we create memories that we will cherish later.
