Le Bois Flotté

Come and stay in this Saumur gîte overlooking the Loire! Just a 10-minute walk from the town center and train station, you'll enjoy a natural setting and a garden as if you were in the countryside. A former sailor's house completely renovated in 2022, the house opens onto a bright living room with a fully-equipped kitchen overlooking the Loire branch (oven, induction hob, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, etc.), and a lounge with sofa, armchairs and TV (Netflix/Amazon). The ground-floor bedroom has a double bed (160x200cm) and a bathroom with walk-in shower and basin. A separate toilet is also located on the first floor. Upstairs, the second bedroom has a double bed (160x200), a terrace and a breathtaking view of the Loire Arm. The open-plan bathroom features a large corner bathtub, double vanity unit and WC. You'll enjoy a fully enclosed garden (garden furniture, deckchairs, barbecue) and you can also enjoy the banks of the Loire on the terrace below. Located on Millocheau Island, in the heart of the Parc Naturel Régional, the royal river offers a landscape that changes with the seasons (sandbanks, floods, flora and fauna). For your comfort, beds are made up on arrival, towels are provided and the house is air-conditioned in summer. For your bike rides, vintage-style adult bikes are available for hire on site (€5/day/person by reservation). A leisure center is 350m from the gîte (supervised swimming in summer, canoes, etc.). Saumur, a city of art and history, hosts numerous events throughout the year (Festivini, Anjou Vélo Vintage, etc.). You won't want to miss its château, one of the emblematic sites of the Loire châteaux, the famous Cadre Noir and its wine cellars. Near Saumur, there's plenty to see and do: the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud, villages along the Loire (Montsoreau, Candes Saint Martin, etc.) and troglodytic sites. Free public street parking available. A cot can be provided on request.
