La Douceur Angevine - Guided tours of the island of Béhuard

Right at the heart of Anjou, on a small island in France's last untamed river, a village stands out with its relaxing atmosphere… Béhuard. The island of Béhuard is at an average altitude of 17 m above sea level and is enfolded by both arms of the River Loire. The island is a wonderful orientation table to see the gentle Anjou landscapes.

This "Little City of Character" is the only island in the Loire to be a municipality in its own right. Only one hundred people live here all the year round. It is in part of the Loire Valley that is listed as a World Heritage site by UNESCO.

During four guided tours, "The Secrets of the East", "Heading West", "Tour of the Island" and "The Village of Béhuard", Carine, your guide and a resident of the island, will introduce you to every nook and cranny of this jewel of the Loire, on foot or on a Segway, in all seasons… except on days of high waters levels!

You can enjoy "The Secrets of the East" and "Heading West" with your dog if you reserve a "Canine Visit" time slot.
All the tricks are quite easy and can be done by everyone. These are observation walks and not hikes.

In summer, to enjoy the singing of the birds, opt for a morning visit between 7 and 11 am.
