Pine :
A corner of nature just a stone's throw from the big cities
Le Pin is a village with a population of just under 800 and a friendly, peaceful atmosphere. Situated around 30 km north of Ancenis-Saint-Géréon, this small commune is ideal for those seeking the tranquillity of the countryside without being too far from towns such as Angers, Candé, Châteaubriant or Nantes. Once a land of moorland and hedged farmland, Le Pin has managed to preserve its rural character and agricultural activity, while offering its residents a wide range of services and activities. Le Pin is a village where nature, friendliness and proximity to major towns all come together in perfect harmony. Quite simply, it's a great place to live!
