Sadly, Le Clos Charmeur will not be available in 2008.

The NEW Wine Bar "LE PUY AU VIN" in the village opened its doors in November 2007. This is essentially a wine bar but is also offering light lunches. It has its own Wine Shop section selling a selection of local products. Great for a stop off  after your cycle ride or vineyard walk perhaps. It is open during the week and on Sunday lunchtimes. This means we can now stop nagging the owner of the other bar to open on that day! 

The village is privileged to have been given the award of  <'Petite Cité de Caractére>.

This distinction is awarded to the little towns and villages in our region that have a remarkable architectural and natural Heritage and meets the essential criteria when it comes to welcoming their visitors.  As a guarantee of quality this label urges the commune belonging to the network to keep on improving the emphasis placed on their attractions through restoration, promotion and activities.  The Cités de Caractére of the Pays de la Loire present a whole range of historial authenticity and are the reflection of the geographical territory to which they belong to.

From April 2008 Ryanair are opening another new route from Liverpool to Nantes Atlantique.

From 23rd May 2006, Flybe have initiated a new service from Southampton Airport to Angers (approximately 45 minutes drive from Le Clos des Guyons).Aer Arann are also now running flights from Manchester to Nantes-Atlantique and Cork to Angers.

From 11th March 2006, Ryanair have initiated a new service from East Midlands/Nottingham Airport to Nantes-Atlantique (approximately 1.5 hours drive from Le Clos des Guyons) making us an ideal short-break destination from the Midlands and the North West. 

These are two great links I have found.
The first gives a virtual visit of several  of the famous 'Loire Valley Chateaux'.
The second is a virtual visit of many of the best 'Views of the Loire Valley' particularly impressive of Saumur.
