 he Pressoir is located 35 km to the south of Saumur (between Angers and Tours), It is therefore ideally located for exploring the Loire valley castles. A number of castles are located in the immediate vicinity of the property: (Thouars, Oiron, Montreuil-Bellay, Le Bois de Sanzay, Saint-Loup, l'Abbaye royale de Fontevraud, Villandry, etc.).
At the border between Anjou, Poitou, and Vendée, the region around the Pressoir has a great variety of natural, historical or cultural points of interest, such as the Puy du Fou, its theme park and its open-air shows. In a totally different style, the Futuroscope in Poitiers can be a very interesting excursion.
The region also offers ramblers / hikers an extensive network of marked walking paths (the Pressoir is located on one of the traditional routes towards Saint Jacques de Compostelle). The coastal region of the Vendée, the pretty seaside city of La Rochelle and the Marais Poitevin (a protected area of marshland and natural reserve) are only 2hrs away by car.
