Chemillé-en-Anjou (pronounced as /fr/, literally Chemillé in Anjou) is a commune in the Maine-et-Loire department of western France. Chemillé is the municipal seat.
The commune was established on 15 December 2015 by the merger of the former communes of Chanzeaux, La Chapelle-Rousselin, Chemillé-Melay, Cossé-d'Anjou, La Jumellière, Neuvy-en-Mauges, Sainte-Christine, Saint-Georges-des-Gardes, Saint-Lézin, La Salle-de-Vihiers, La Tourlandry and Valanjou.[2] Chemillé-Melay had been formed in January 2013 by the merger of the former communes of Chemillé and Melay.[3]
The commune of Chemillé had a small fortified castle, that was destroyed in the late 1500s on order of the governor of Britain.[4]
