If you're looking for the France you haven't seen in the movies or on postcards, then Ancenis is the place for you. With a population of just over 7,500 people it offers a truly authentic French experience. Walking the historic streets, every turn brings with something new (or old). Despite its small size the town contains more than three large churches and a stunning castle.
The town is a must see for anyone who appreciates the slower pace of French life, making it well worth hiring a car in Ancenis to explore surrounding areas of this French paradise. Renting a car in Ancenis gives you the added benefit of also visiting the bigger cities.
Car hire in Ancenis is essential if you want to visit the vibrant city of Tours, a two hour drive away. The city offers a different atmosphere from the smaller, sleepier town. With its larger size comes more to do, from stately homes, to countless markets, a more lively night life and a more modern take on French living. The city is alive with energy and with the various museums, tours and parks you will always find something to keep you entertained.
As a pair Ancenis and Tours offer a great slice of France that enable you to experience everything the country has to offer, from the relaxed countryside living to the busier city life.
