For the non-fishing members of your party, or if you just want to take time out away from catching fish, there are plenty of local attractions.

Les bouffetières is situated 20 mins from the historic town of Laval, listed as an 'Art and History' town, Laval has a Middle Ages feel.

Laval has a number of Museums, busy boutiques and a variety of restaurants, cafés as well as traditional markets.

The Chàteau at Laval over looks the river Mayenne where you can hire a boat, cast off and take your very own cruise. Guided tours are also available by boat, on foot or by the mini train, all which are organised by the local Tourist Office.

Other places of interest are the Chàteau at Craon and its gardens, La Roe Abbey or for a slice of culture the Robert Tatin museum at Cossé-le-Vivien.

The beautiful long sandy beach of St Malo is just a 1½ hour drive away from Les Bouffétiéres and makes a perfect day out.

Mont St. Michel is 90 minutes away and being in the Bretagne region, naturally has clean, sandy beaches - not to mention a whole host of seafood restaurants.

There are also 2 golf courses both situated within 30 minutes from Les Bouffétiéres.
