Mouliherne: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Culture

At the Église Saint-Germain, the Carolingian stone sarcophagi discovered in 1975 in the old Mouliherne are displayed behind the altar. The construction campaigns and phases of the Église Saint-Germain extend from the second half of the 11th century to the first half of the 13th century. The church has a twisted or helix-shaped spire, which was built around 1690.

The Lanterne des Morts was restored in 1978 and is one of the last 50 lanterns commemorating the dead in France. It stands on a rib-vaulted ossuary dating from the 12th century, considered the only known example in Anjou. The traditional Foire aux Pommes takes place every year on the third weekend of October.

The Château de la Coutancière is a château in the wider regional surroundings of Mouliherne. Ile au Than Beach is a beach area in the wider regional surroundings of Mouliherne. The Château de Montsoreau-Museum of contemporary art Park is a park area in the wider regional surroundings of Mouliherne.

Nature

The Circuit nature leads to the Étang et moulin de Charrenier, where thousands of starlings gather for protection every evening during the season. The 10.8 km-long Promenade des amoureux de l’histoire et de la nature runs through an unspoilt landscape with wooded ridges and apple orchards and includes the twisted church tower and the cemetery lantern commemorating the dead as cultural features.

La Boucle des Ecureuils runs mostly through the state forest and offers several picnic areas as well as small hamlets with characteristic houses. The Étang de pêche de la Louisière has an easily accessible bank-fishing area and a family fishing area; species found there include coarse fish such as roach and rudd, tench, carp, pike and perch.

Anyone choosing Mouliherne for their own stay may wish to rent a holiday apartment there.
