This is a lovely spot, which we highly recommend, right by the side of the River Maine just upstream of its junction with the Loire. It was a camp site, then converted into an aire. We visited in April 23/24 2016. It was quite quiet, in sunny but cool weather. As others have suggested, do read the instructions at the gate carefully - most people seem to need help from others already there to get in and out! There was rather slow and intermittent wi-fi accessible near the gate. The adjacent village is attractive and quiet. It's only a short drive to Angers, the historic capital of Anjou, and its wonderful chateau. You can see in the castle the superb and beautifully presented 100-metre Apocalypse tapestry, commissioned in 1375 by Louis I and now one of the most important exhibits in France.

Always a nice place to stop off (although we only ever do this out of season).
Since we last stayed here they have constructed a barrier entry system - read the instructions very carefully and do not lose your receipt as it has your unique exit code!!
Note that the charge per night for low season is 8 Euros and payment can only be made via bank cards.
When we visited the service area was being reconstructed as was unavailable. There are instructions posted to guide you to the service point at the Basse Nautique just down the road - not the best of service points but it's free!

We visited in early March 2016 and it had rained hard so half the site was underwater, but half was still open and it didn't put us and 4 other French vans off, though it rained again in the night and the river levels crept up to within a few feet of one van! We paid €11.50 for one night including hookup, and the machine to get in and out was in most languages including English. So, good spot, check the river levels before travelling there though!

Fantastic place, one of the best, quiet, individual plots, EHU , right by the river. Was an old municipal site, hence the loo's and showers building. We cycled from here on the cycle path in both directions, you get to Angers in one way and go through a beautiful park where there is a beach area for swimming, must have been 200 on there when we went by (very hot day). Angers has Le Petite train that runs from the cathedral all around the city which is great as it is very steep walking in places, we left our bikes on stands at the bottom.
If you go right out of the site you can walk/cycle to the next village, lovely place with bars/restaurant.
Last time we went France had suffered torrential rain and site was flooded and closed, very disappointed!

A great Aire within walking distance to the town with all facilities available i.e. shops/restaurant/bars and excellent for cycling and fishing, getting through the auto payment machine was tricky when we were there, getting out was even trickier (down to problems with the machine.
If you want fresh water or a shower you have to pay as you enter and add the extras, you cannot dump without leaving the site so on leaving make sure you tell the machine you are only leaving temporarily or you will not get back in without paying again
