The estate
The Domaine des Fontaines
A hamlet of four houses in a landscaped park, between Angers and Le Mans. We live here and look after it all year round.
What is yours, what is shared
Private
- The whole house, with its own entrance
- The house's terrace
- The wood stove and logs provided
Shared with other guests and with us
- The park and its paths
- The rose garden, in bloom from mid-June to September
- The hedge maze, the bamboo grove and the red hut
- The pond
- The 2 hectares of woodland
- Parking
The rose garden
More than 1,000 rose bushes, planted and pruned by hand. They start blooming in mid-June and carry on until September. In spring and autumn the park is lovely for other reasons: the bamboo, the woodland and the quiet.
So that everyone enjoys the quiet
- The estate is a quiet place: no amplified music outdoors, and silence after 10 pm.
- The pond is not supervised: children must be accompanied by an adult.
- Pets stay under supervision and are not left alone in the houses.
- Please do not pick the roses: they bloom for everyone.
