SPORTING EXPERIENCES IN THE HEART OF THE COUNTRYSIDE

Besides the hiking activities, which restore your energy levels and gently reconnect you with the present time, there are lots of other sports activities to enjoy!

In search of energetic activities to do with family or friends, why not experience something unusual in a hot-air balloon, test your sense of balance, climbing the rock faces or glide smoothly over the water of the lake of Gué de Selle in a canoe! Groups of friends, students looking for motivational challenges, clubs and sports associations will find this gîte offers group accommodation on the doorstep of their activity.

IT BITES!

Take out your bait and your boots, because this is a place for fishing enthusiasts! Expanses of water and rivers (the Erve, La Jouanne, La Vaudelle) of category 1 or 2 are rich in fish. Sit at the edge of the water and test the fly-fishing technique: the river Erve towards the caves of Saulges will be a great place to try this out!

For a 100% fishing trip, rent a cottage specially dedicated to this activity, with a lake or river nearby and premises for the equipment. A peaceful holiday is guaranteed!

TREAT YOURSELF TO A UNIQUE FLIGHT!

This is not a flight of lyricism, but you can sing your heart out from the top of your propane-inflated balloon! Opt for another view of the valleys of Mayenne andclimb aboard a hot air balloon, departing from the Coëvrons and in particular from the medieval city of Sainte-Suzanne.

A gentle breeze that takes you above the woodland and no car noise at all... so make the most of this unique experience. Oh! Aaah! You will be amazed at the views: cows and longhouses seen from above, a Mayenne region that you never knew was so hilly, pretty colours in the fields ... in short, everything!
