Corniche Angevine
Corniche angevine
A winding road along the clifftops of the south bank of the Loire, overlooking the river valley and Layon vineyards, with sweet white wine tastings along the way.
The Corniche Angevine is a road of about 10 km built along the cliffs on the south bank of the Loire between Rochefort-sur-Loire and Chalonnes-sur-Loire. The best viewpoint is at La Haie Longue, which has a statue of the Virgin Mary and an observation platform overlooking the winding river, its sandbars, and the Savennières vineyards on the opposite bank. Nearby are the Coteaux du Layon and Quarts de Chaume regions, known for noble-rot sweet white wines, where you can book winery tastings. It lies about 25 km from Angers and suits both driving and cycling.
