Discover Longuefuye – holiday apartment in Longuefuye for culture, trails and farms

Longuefuye offers a varied mix of easy walking trails, sacred cultural heritage and agricultural visitor attractions. If you are planning a holiday apartment in Longuefuye, you can choose your location based on which of these impressions you want to shape your stay: trails for exercise, historical traces for cultural interest, or farms offering products and insights into animal husbandry.

Church and smaller cultural heritage features

The Church of Notre-Dame-de-la-Visitation in Longuefuye is listed under the identifier IA53004207 in the regional cultural heritage inventory of Pays de la Loire. Its choir was restored in 2024. A restoration project was proposed for the two side altars and the high altar; support from the département was to be requested for this purpose. This ecclesiastical theme is complemented by the restored “plaque de cocher de l’Espérance” sign, which belongs to Longuefuye’s smaller cultural heritage. This means the focus is not only on a single building, but also on a small, locally specific detail.

Holiday apartment in Longuefuye between trails and bodies of water

Several routes are the main focus for walks. The “Circuit de Gennes-sur-Glaize à Longuefuye” is an easy 6-km walking route. In Gennes-Longuefuye, the “Circuit des Boucles de Gennes-Longuefuye” circular footpath is signposted. Renewal of the “Boucles de Gennes-sur-Glaize et Longuefuye” hiking route has been confirmed. The different route names help you narrow down your preferred type of activity before choosing your accommodation. When it comes to bodies of water, an important distinction applies: swimming is expressly prohibited in the ponds listed by the municipality. The Longuefuye pond is associated with municipal information about fishing.

Farm products and insights into agriculture

Les Vergers de la Rouérie produces cider, apple juice, perry, Pommeau and apple vinegar. By reservation, the business offers tours of the orchards and cellar followed by a tasting. This gives apple and pear products just as concrete a place in travel planning as the trails and cultural heritage features. Les Vergers de la Rouérie also raises broiler chickens in mobile houses and sells them directly from the farm.

Another agricultural highlight is the Villette en Direct educational sheep farm. It offers a self-guided tour around the farm, presenting agricultural practices and the livestock-keeping system. This offering also includes a visit to the sheepfold. Villette en Direct is located at La Cour de Villette in Longuefuye; sheep farming there has been documented since August 2017. Since November 2022, the farm has welcomed visitors to give them a closer look at its operations.

Choose your location according to your holiday ideas

When choosing a holiday apartment in Longuefuye, you can combine these themes across different holiday days: an easy walking route, a cultural feature at the church, or a reserved farm visit with a tasting or insights into sheep farming. Those mainly seeking exercise can focus on the circular routes; those interested in regional products and agriculture can set different priorities. Longuefuye therefore offers several concrete starting points for your personal travel planning.
