Cafés

The cafés of the Pays Loudunais offer simple pleasures (they’re often the best!). A steaming cup of tea on a sunny terrace, a slice of homemade cake, a chat that goes on forever… It’s a whole art of living that can be savoured without hurrying. Between Poitou, Anjou and Touraine, the region’s cafés are more than just places to take a break: they’re places where you can meet up and catch up over an espresso, a hot chocolate or a well-chosen glass of local .

Some people prefer to sit there first thing in the morning, when the day dawns and thesmell of freshly-groundcoffee fills the air. Others drop in after a walk or a market, drawn by the promise of a comforting drink and a warm welcome. Everywhere you look, you’ll find the kind of sharing that’s the hallmark of the Pays Loudunais: smiling people, quality produce and a relaxed atmosphere that’s good for you.

And because people here love a break as much as a good meal, cafés proudly stand alongside local tables celebrating the flavours of the land. Rustic pies, seasonal dishes, AOP Saumur wines… The region’s produce inspires recipes full of character, cooked with generosity.

Whether you’re a sweet tooth, a fan of strong coffee or just curious and looking for a nice place to unwind, the cafés of the Pays Loudunais have something to tempt you. These charming places are meeting points, human-sized stops where every break becomes a real moment of pleasure.
