With my dog

Ah, the Pays Loudunais, a green setting where peace and quiet go hand in hand. Your four-legged friend couldn’t dream of a better getaway than in our authentic destination. Here, your dog is not only welcome, he’s part of the fun! This peaceful region, between Poitou, Anjou and Touraine, has everything to please nature lovers and their faithful companions: paths as far as the eye can see, shady spots in which to rest and panoramic views that are well worth a long “woof” of admiration.

Accommodation also plays its part, with gîtes, bed and breakfasts, campsites and motorhome parks happy to welcome accompanied holidaymakers. It’s a great way to put down your suitcases and enjoy the moment together. The atmosphere is simple and friendly, just like the Pays Loudunais: here, guests are cared for as much as their furry friends.

There are plenty of hiking trails, perfect for long walks in the fresh air. Some run alongside the River Dive, others through forests or wind through vineyards. And for those who enjoy a leisurely stroll, the picturesque villages and places of interest offer a wealth of cultural attractions, provided that you find out in advance about dog access, to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

Even restaurants often play the dog-friendly card: a shady terrace, a bowl of fresh water, and you’re ready to enjoy a good local dish while your companion takes a nap at your feet.

With us, time passes slowly. You walk, you discover, you savour, never in a hurry. And at the end of the day, with the mildness of the evening and the calmness of the countryside, you can tell yourself that happiness in the Pays Loudunais can also be experienced at the level of a truffle.
