THE GOLF COURSE OF ANGERS

 

When you are staying at the Château de l’Epinay, don’t hesitate to find out about the Angers golf course. You cannot fail to be seduced by the lynx set between the Loire and the vineyards. The diversity of the landscape here also creates a lot of technical variety, with woods, ponds, a tower and dolmens all to be found here.

Over 5406m, the Angers Golf Course has 18 holes by 70, and offers you practice, and the option to hire golf clubs, trolleys and motorized carts.


THE GARDENS OF L'EPINAY
 

The grounds of the Château cover 23 hectares, providing lovely walks for nature lovers. The range of different age-old trees surrounding the Château will transport you back in time. Why not take time to enjoy the pure pleasure of an after-lunch nap in the hammocks under the chestnut, lulled to sleep by the wind rustling their leaves, the birdsong and the trickling water? 

Garden lovers will be wowed by our alleys of irises, the roses climbing over the façades and the grotto hidden by plants! The grounds are filled with both trees and flowers, and these are much-loved by the bees in our hives. Running alongside the grounds is an old branch of the Loire and a small lake. If you are lucky, you may catch a glimpse of the majestic white swan, but you are sure to see the ducks taking off!

Children will love the cave for the many trails that lead to it, and adults will love it because the trees and multiple colored plants that surround it immerse you in the world of Alice in Wonderland
