The open-air cafés
in the Pays d'Ancenis

Enjoy an experience on the banks of the Loire!

They bloom again in spring, and with them, life on the banks of the Loire becomes a party! To complement the range of restaurants and cafés open all year round, open-air cafés take up residence in the Pays d'Ancenis in fine weather.

Take a break in one of our guinguettes!

An aperitif with your feet in the water

The success of our open-air cafés is undoubtedly due to their universal, intergenerational concept, which is particularly well suited to the Pays d'Ancenis. Imagine sipping a cool glass of Malvoisie on a sunny day, gazing out over the Loire as the sun sets. Every year, like the swallows, our open-air cafés return in spring to cheer us up after the winter and herald the return of the simple pleasures of the summer. In a word, they've become such an essential part of our lives that we can't do without them!
