Nature

The “Le Tuffalunois” circular route connects the historic municipalities of Ambillou-Château, Louerre and Noyant-la-Plaine. It passes through the characteristic plains and hillside landscapes of the Saumurois between the deeply incised valleys of the Loire and the Layon. Along the circular route, tuffeau and falun shape the diverse and high-quality architectural heritage. The Tuffalunois area is particularly characterised by numerous troglodyte dwellings in the plains and on the hillsides.

The “Plongée en Mer des Faluns” circular route lies entirely within the delegated municipality of Ambillou-Château and is designed as a 2.5-hour adventure tour through the Sea of Faluns.

Those choosing Ambillou-Château as their travel destination may wish to rent a holiday apartment there.

Culture and History

The Church of Saint Martin de Vertou dates from the 11th and 12th centuries. Its exterior façade preserves Romanesque windows and an archaic character. It is also part of the “Églises Accueillantes en Anjou” network.

At Château de la Grézille, some parts are classified as a historic monument, while other parts are listed as a historic monument. The château has medieval origins, a chapel dating from 1455 and 16th-century funerary statues.

The Ambillou-Château Patrimoine association offers a heritage discovery tour of the municipality every year.

Wine

The wine of Domaine de la Grézille draws its distinctive character from the mineral content of marine sediments deposited 15 million years ago by the Sea of Faluns. The vineyard at the Seigneurie de la Galopinière has been documented since the 15th century.
