If you look out of your window on the banks of the Mayenne river and the towpath, you will discover this exceptional site at the Neuville lock. This towpath has become the Vélofrancette, a cycle route offering all the services you need to enjoy a stay on the water. Experience the Slowlydays spirit!
On foot, on horseback, by bike, canoe or boat.
Evelyne and Lucien will tell you all about the Mayenne and guide you through all the treasures this region has to offer: small restaurants, local producers (llama wool, meat, vegetables, etc.).
You can also take advantage of the restaurant Les Copains d'abord nearby and a tearoom just a stone's throw away.
If you have horses, you can put them out in the 2.5ha fenced field, which has 3 paddocks.
If you have bikes, you can leave them in a closed garage.
By bike, you are 20 minutes from the town of Château-Gontier (8km) by the towpath, so you can enjoy the Refuge de l'Arche (wildlife park), the marina and harbour office Canotika (bike hire, boats...), aquatic complex, museum and theatre (scène nationale Le Carré). The town also offers a full range of shops and restaurants.
