Land of contrast and natural heritage

Comprised of 235 000 hectares that are situated in both Lower Normandy and the Loire Valley Region, Normandy-Maine Regional Natural Park is one of the 44 French rural territories classified as " Regional Natural Park".

The wide diversity of its landscapes - the hills of Normandy and Maine, moors, forests and woods, flowering hedged farmland, apple and pear orchards, rivers that are sometimes turbulent - that is home to a wide variety of wildlife and plants makes it of great interest to tourists and environmentalists. A large network of marked paths and bridleways invite you to discover its wonders.

The cultural heritage of the Park is no less rich: chateaus and manors, religious monuments, many examples of ancestral traditions and skills (hemp and flax growing, skills in weaving and lace making, cider production, etc.) will lead you from one discovery to the next. The Normandy-Maine Regional Natural Park Centre, located in Carrouges, provides you with all the necessary information to make your stay a memorable one.
