*** Guemene Penfao lies almost in the centre of the Pays de 3 Rivieres. The town is on the river Don but the Isac, Brivet and Vilaine rivers are not far away. It is a magical area with beautiful scenery and so much to do, it’s difficult to know where to begin. There is something for everyone; wonderful walks through forests, ancient chateaux, chapels and churches to visit, water sports of every kind including the town’s indoor pool with spa and Jacuzzi and a lake with a safe beach area in nearby Plesse, 4 riding stables to suit all abilities, and then of course there’s food. There are many bars and restaurants in Guemene Penafo and more a short drive away in nearby villages and Redon. Les quatre cles is about a 3 minute drive from the town centre or easily reached on foot in about 15 minutes. The swimming pool can also be reached by a footpath across a field, the river Don, with a very stimulating climb up steps on the other side. For those with golfing instincts, there are 4 wonderful 18 hole championship courses at Savenay, Nantes, Rennes and Missillac (Golf de la Bretche) all around 20 miles away and 2 9 hole courses at Caden – 24 miles and Treffiex – 15 miles. Even though the area itself has so much to offer, there are many other places worth visiting within easy reach, such as Josselin with its magnificent chateau or for car enthusiasts there’s Loheac which is home to the largest motor museum in France. The French national rallycross championships are held there with opportunities to have lessons in saloon car and go-cart racing. Or how about spending a day in Paris, under 3 hours away direct from nearby Redon Station. Approximately 45 minute drive leads you to the banks of the river Loire, deep in the heart of the wine growing area situated around Nantes. Delve deeper into the lush valley, and discover the sumptuous Châteaux and ornamental gardens, glorious relics of France's regal past, situated in the vicinity of Angers and Saumur.
