Overview
Description
The ForgesOur beautiful little manor house is located at the crossroads of the Sarthe, Mayenne, and Maine et Loire. It is cozy, secretive, silent and charming. The traditional french country atmosphere that you will love.
- It has many small peaceful places: terraces, a pergola where to lunch and dine in summer, a park of nearly 7 hectares planted with multiple species, meadows, coppices, an orchard, large oaks where you can rest in the shade...
It is an authentic paradise.
- The equipment is complete: large swimming pool (12x6) secure and heated (in season), beautiful quick tennis court, sauna, fitness and massage area, illuminated terrace for dinner in the evening, a plancha under the garland of guingette by the pool, a barbecue... Inside: large "Souveraine de Godin" cooker, 12-seater dining room, large fireplace in the living room, wood inserts in the bedrooms... but you will not need those in our hot summer !
- If you're a fan, Le Mans is 50 minutes away. To go see the 24 hours, Le Classique, or one of the 22 events planned in 2026: it's perfect.
We are also Le Mans Classic fans and our home is the home of a 1938 MG TA.
In a completely different style, every guest should visit
° The very spectacular Abbaye de Solesmes, 15 minutes drive away.
° Angers, offering a typical historical town center with dozens of charming streets, shops, café and the museum that is the shelter of the world unique "chef d'oeuvre", the 140 m long tapestry of the Apocalypse and its mysteries.
