For its stunning heritage

Its name comes from a white rock formation, but La Roche-Blanche is above all a little nugget that has managed to retain its rural charm over the centuries. With its ancient farms and chapel, the village is a treasure trove of history. A little jewel of tranquillity just a few kilometres from the hustle and bustle of the city, bordered by the Pas Aubry stream to the north, the Saugères stream to the east and the Grée and Pied Bercy streams to the west.

Everyday services within easy reach


La Roche-Blanche offers peace and quiet with everything close at hand. A public school, after-school care, a library, a bakery... Not forgetting local producers to stock up on good produce. And if you need to do some major shopping, the supermarkets inAncenis-Saint-Géréon are just a hop, skip and a jump away. When it comes to health, you'll also be well looked after: pharmacy, physiotherapist, osteopath, nurse, occupational therapist... So you can rest easy!
