From 10 minutes of Angers’center, we are situated in Juigné sur loire (dept 49)

It was the presumed place of the Battle between Crassus and Dumas in 52 before J-C. Since the XII, Juigné sur Loire mined slated schist. One part of these schist was used to built the Roman way Anjou-Aquitaine and the roof of an ancient monument in Great Britain.

It is in Juigné sur Loire that the Loire is the widest (700 meters). The river’s 3 kilometers of bank has impacted a lot on local history : it was a former harbour to export Anjou’s wines (of course!).
