Sancerre is very popular, but please forget it. Angers and Saumur are charming towns, and you can find many small restaurants witht good value. This towns propose more and more organic wines with natural winemaking. I’m very fan about this places….
Rablay sur layon :
This village is situated not far from Angers.Layon is a river, it is a region of sweet wine (coteaux du layon) Small and cute village where you have artist place for the summer. Few years ago, the supermarket closed. to replace it, the mayor of this village and his team created an association. And now you can find in this ancient supermarket local and organic food. It is a revolution in France. It is a proof we can forget to go to industrial supermarket. Good value for the price. And also...a simple restaurant with organic food and natural wines...
L’Auberge du layon : the amazing place in this small village. A rasta man is cooking Pizza , salad and another dishes from local and organic producers.The beer is artisanal; and the wines from natural wine producers as Patrick Desplats (18 euros ) Gilles Azoni .The last time, i paid 34 euros by person (but with many bottles). it isn’t our Chef but just a doctor…An another world….Sometimes, you have concert..

Bed, breakfast and more...
La Pinsonière : Bed and breakfast with possibility to eat for the dinner. The house is ancient house of castle guard. Build with stones, it is calm and you have a great and relaxing atmosphere. But the owners Pascale and Olivier are professional wine Bar. they propose local and organic food and wines for the dinner…just amazing. My favorite wine producer : La Tour grise
Les tontons : old address with a good terrasse. the food is rustic but good…with fresh french friy, andouillette and local charcuterie.
