Slow Travel in La Flèche

What if true luxury was simply taking your time?

There are trips where you try to see everything, do everything, visit everything.

And then there are those where you simply decide to slow down.

At La Girouardière, on the outskirts of La Flèche, between Le Mans, Angers and Saumur, we envisioned our house as a haven. A place where you can finally unpack, forget about time for a while and rediscover the pleasure of simple things.

Welcome to our way of traveling: Slow Travel .

Sleep. Breathe. Enjoy.

Here, there's no need to fill every hour of your stay.

Start your day peacefully with a homemade breakfast. Take a stroll around the Monnerie lakes, just a few minutes' walk away. Explore the Loir Valley by bike. Wander through La Flèche or take to the roads leading to the villages, castles, and landscapes of Anjou and Sarthe.

And sometimes… do nothing.

Rediscover the garden, take a break in the Nordic bath, enjoy the sauna when the days get cooler or simply settle down with a book.

At La Girouardière, taking your time is part of the stay.

A family home rather than a hotel like any other

With only a few rooms, a cottage and our caravan, La Girouardière retains the spirit of a family home.

We like to welcome guests simply, prepare breakfast, offer our table d'hôtes on certain evenings and share some good addresses when you want to discover the surrounding area.

But we also know how to be discreet when all you want is to be alone.

Whether as a couple, alone, for a stopover of a few days or during a cycling trip, everyone can experience La Girouardière at their own pace.

Travel slower to discover more

La Flèche is ideally located to discover a region that is sometimes passed through too quickly.

The La Flèche Zoo of course, but also the banks of the Loir, the lakes of La Monnerie, Le Lude and its castle, Baugé-en-Anjou, Angers, Saumur and their many treasures.

La Girouardière also welcomes cyclists and benefits from the Accueil Vélo label, near the Vélobuissonnière and Vélocénie routes.

So you can leave the car in the parking lot and choose, for a few hours or a few days, another way to travel.

How about taking a break?

You don't need to go to the other side of the world to get the feeling of escaping.

Sometimes, a comfortable room, a good breakfast, a walk, a home-cooked dinner and a few moments in hot water are all that's needed.

This autumn, come and discover La Flèche in a new light.

Take your time.
