Motorhome area of Ingrandes Le Fresne sur Loire (Maine et Loire)

Ingrandes Le Fresne sur Loire is a small town on the Loire river, located between Angers (33 km) and Nantes (64 km). The Loire offers every summer a water sports centre with a supervised swimming area, children's playground and a picnic area. This beach offers a beautiful view of the city. Since 1996, the half-Angevine-half-Brittany town has been classified as a heritage protection zone. The commune is recent with the merger of two villages: Ingrandes and Le Fresne. But it also has a very old history, which goes back beyond the Middle Ages, as an official border between Anjou and Brittany. It is a historical place where the Stone of Brittany was laid in the 9th century, designed to separate Brittany from the Frankish kingdom. An interpretation tour retracing the history of Ingrandes and Le Fresne will give you all the keys to discover these two ancient towns. From the area, join the Loire à Vélo circuit. On the way to Ancenis, stop off at Saint-Florent-le-Vieil to visit the abbey church, the crypt under the altar and the Column of the Duchess of Angouleme with its superb view over the river. 800 m from the area, the village welcomes you with a cinema, a library, a children's playground, boules de fort (a local speciality) and two art galleries.
