Our gites at La Rue Vaslin border the popular and sought after regions of Maine et Loire and Indre Loire being right in the very heart of the Loire Valley where UNESCO claimed it as a world heritage region of 'outstanding beauty'.
Situated approximately 3km between the villages of Parcay les Pins and Gizeux our gites are an easy 10 minute cycle ride or 30 minute walk to local bars, restaurants and village shops.
The fashionable towns of Saumur and Chinon on banks of the river Loire are a 40-minute drive away where fabulous restaurants, bars, shopping, wine caves, the famous Cadre Noire and equestrian centre, and of the course the beautiful and imposing chateaux, give reason as to why these historic towns are so popular.
Set in an idyllic and tranquil setting, our gites are ideally located to visit the many popular chateaux and vineyards for which the region is famed and are within easy access of many delightful French villages and thriving market towns.
Our gites at La Rue Vaslin each have their own private garden area as well as the use of the lovely communal garden and super pool with south-facing sun terrace. The pool is fully enclosed and has a safety alarm for extra peace of mind. La Rue Vaslin is also ideally located for visiting the many vineyards and chateaux for which the region is famed. Wine tours, excursions and magnificent chateaux are all within easy reach, and cycling and walking are popular due to the relatively flat landscape. Bikes are provided, free of charge, for our guests use.
The nearby forests and woodland have an abundance of wildlife and the stunning views over sunflower fields make for a wonderful peaceful location.
Nearby there are fishing lakes and water sports lakes and with the River Loire and Loir running through the region there is plenty of opportunities for kayaking, fishing, or just taking a picnic by the river.
There are also several outstanding golf courses nearby which rank highly amongst the best in France. Most notably these are located at Golf de Bauge, and at Sept de Tours (meaning the Seven Towers).
Special all inclusive golf breaks are also offered by the owners.

Parfait! Conforme à la description. Je recommande vivement
Guest rating:
The welcome pack (of snacks & drink) on arrival was much appreciated after a long journey and later arrival. It was very clean, the apartment was like how it was portrayed on airbnb and even better than expectations. I appreciated the guy on site coming by to see how things were and the flexibility of leaving a bit later on the last day. A peaceful location and lovely setting for visiting the beautiful Loire valley.
