Le Moulin de St Blaise

Of course, you could just kick back and relax in the 10 acres that surround the Le Moulin de St Blaise – take a leisurely stroll, bask in the sun in our south-facing garden, and dip your toes in the gentle cool water of the river. But if you want to get out and about, then there’s lots to see and do. The only problem you will have is finding the time to fit everything in! There is a local wine museum where you can get an introduction to our local wines. Running directly through the village is the ‘Route de Vignobles’ (the Old Wine route). You can walk, drive or cycle the route. Stop for tastings along the way, and shop for the local wines, Jasnieres and Coteaux du Loir (both AOC). Our nearest winemaker is actually located in Chahaignes.
We are just 35 minutes from the racetrack at Le Mans. So if you are attending a racing event, or visiting their superb motor museum, then we are in the ideal location.
The major Chateaux of the Loire are about an hour away by car.
For the kids there are Zoos at La Fleche, and also just north of Le Mans at Pescheray and they will love the beach on the lake at nearby Marcon. With a water slide, onsite café, picnic area and play equipment, there’s lot to keep them entertained while you just chill out.
Alternatively, we are just 10 minutes from the Forest of Bercé, where there is a visitor centre and a choice of routes on foot or bike. Horse riding is also available close by.
Fishing is another very popular activity in the area. Our mill is on a Category 1 stretch of water, with native brown trout, rainbow trout and many other species. The waters can be fished between March and September. The Loir river is 5 minutes away, and there’s lake fishing at both La Chartre and Marcon.
Other activities close by include archery, sailing, horse-riding, golf, and canoeing. There is even an indoor and outdoor swimming complex just 15 minutes away in Chateau du Loir.
