Manoir de la Groye, Historic manor house in Saint-Saturnin-sur-Loire, France.
The Manor of La Groye stands on the hillside of Mont Rude, with a north wing featuring a loggia and an external staircase overlooking the Loire River.
Built during the 16th and 17th centuries, this estate traces its origins to the 10th century when it first established its status as a feudal property.
The protected monument includes vaulted ceilings in the loggia, exemplifying the architectural techniques used in Loire Valley manor houses of that period.
While the interior remains private property, visitors can explore the English-style arboretum and French gardens surrounding the manor building.
The terraced gardens with their enclosure walls received official heritage protection status through a decree issued on July 19, 1977.

The Pays de la Loire region is full of lesser-known sites revealing the history and diversity of this western France region. Beyond the typical tourist routes, these sites provide an authentic insight into local heritage, craft traditions, and preserved natural landscapes. Among these destinations are castles like Brissac, the tallest in France, and the fortress of Tiffauges, associated with medieval legends. History enthusiasts will appreciate the Gallery of the Apocalypse Tapestry in Angers, a 14th-century textile work, or the Fontevraud Abbey, a remarkable monastic complex. Curious visitors will also find unusual sites such as the Passage du Gois, a tidal road connecting Noirmoutier Island to the mainland depending on the tide, and the Epinay Mill, still operational today. This selection also includes specialized botanical gardens, such as Camifolia in Chemillé, thematic museums dedicated to Jules Verne or early 20th-century rural life, as well as vineyards and manors surrounded by gardens. These locations, often frequented by locals, offer a different perspective for exploring the Pays de la Loire.
