Our towns and villages
in the countryside
One + one + one + ... equals 20! Twenty towns and villages make up the Pays d'Ancenis and its community of municipalites, COMPA, home to over 71,000 people.
It's an area well-balanced between town and country, where dynamism meets peaceful nature. A landscape of hedged farmland, its architecture marked by its Breton history and its proximity to neighbouring Anjou. Here, you can make the big leap between Le Pin, to the north and the smallest village in the Pays d'Ancenis, and Ancenis-Saint-Géréon to the south, the town centre where more than 11,300 people live, 12,000 work and 5,300 study. Do you dream of living on the banks of the Loire? Why not put down your suitcases in Ancenis-Saint-Géréon, Ingrandes-le-Fresne-sur-Loire, Le Cellier, Montrelais, Oudon or Vair-sur-Loire? On the Erdre, the river to the north, the towns of Joué-sur-Erdre, Le Pin, Riaillé, Trans-sur-Erdre and Vallons-de-l'Erdre are just as charming. If you're the kind of person who prefers the centre, so you're never far away from anything, then Couffé, Ligné, Loireauxence, La Roche Blanche, Mésanger, Mouzeil, Pannecé, Pouillé-les-Côteaux and Teillé are the places for you!
