Lake Mousseaux (198 ha), property of the Entente Interdépartementale de l'Authion (Maine-et-Loire, Indre-et-Loire), has a rather wild character (it is also classified as a site of European interest for birds) with its gently sloping banks lined with abundant flora. Here is a small wooden hut which serves as a viewing platform. Most of the time you can see birds that live in swampy areas. Binoculars are recommended.

If there is really nothing to see in Langeais (and one wonders why Balzac, who was from the region, a native of Tours, created a Duchess of Langeais, even if in view of the village one understands better his destiny!), there is still the castle. Much more bypassable than essential, this castle nevertheless hosted an important episode in the history of France: the attachment of the Duchy of Brittany to the crown of France thanks to the secret marriage of Charles VIII and Anne of Brittany, when the latter was already married by proxy to Maximilian of Austria, which allowed the Church to break the marriage. Once we've said that, we've said almost everything, even seen everything in Langeais.
