Tuffalun

Tourism, holidays & weekends guide in the Maine-et-Loire

New town of Pays de la Loire, Tuffalun takes place in the department of Maine-et-Loire, about thirty kilometers from Angers. She was born in December 2015, from the merger of Ambillou-Château, Louerre, and Noyant-la-Plaine.

Populated since the Gallo-Roman era, as evidenced by some remains found on the spot, these old municipalities take their new name of the basement of the territory composed of tufa and falun which made their reputation.

Appreciated for its natural spaces and its proximity to one of the most beautiful cities of the department, the new town of Tuffalun has been experiencing for some years a beautiful tourist activity linked to its architectural heritage, as well as its marked hiking trails to discover the local fauna and flora.

The castle of Grézille takes place in the old town of Ambillou-Château. The building, built between the fifteenth and seventeenth century, is now listed in the Historical Monuments for its facades and roofs, and classified for its church in ruins with the turret staircase, its floor and its moat. A cross located nearby, also has a particular form and quite rare. Do not miss the Bois Raymond dolmen, witness of a very old human occupation on the territory.

Located in Louerre, the church Saint-Maurice takes place near the source of Aubance. The foundations of its bell tower date from the 13th century, while the choir is from the 16th century. Built in golden tuffeau and white tuffeau, it is surrounded by a pretty walk to discover the plants of moorland. Not far, you can also see the tower Beauregard overlooking the forest, the Vau manor of the sixteenth century, the Noblet Wood Manor of the sixteenth century, or the Mansion of the 17th century Félonière and its oratory of the eighteenth century.

In Louerre, it is possible to discover an old troglodyte village.
