Mayenne tourist information
where to go - what to see - what to do
If you are after unspoilt countryside, rich cultural heritage or outdoor adventure, Mayenne is the place to be.
From the prehistoric caves at Saulges to the Roman remains at Jublains, the Renaissance castles of Bourgon and Mezangers, there is a treasure trove of secrets to be discovered.
This was also the opinion of William the Conqueror who tried in vain to besiege the medieval fortress at Sainte Suzanne from 1083-1087.
Over the years, the importance of the Mayenne river has diminished. Nowadays, tourists use it to fish, swim, kayak or simply a leisurely boat trip.
- Evron - the abbey church Notre Dame de L'Epine has Roman & Gothic architecture and one of the best facades for miles around.
- Historical Town of Sainte Suzanne - the Musee de L'Auditoire served as a court of justice in the 17th & 18th Century - now it houses a museum that depicts the lifestyle and events of that era.
- Caves & canyon of Saulges - visit the Margot caves where you'll hear legends of a witch protecting its treasure.
- Jublains - the most prominent Roman site in the west of France. Climb to the top of the theatre for the panoramic views over the Evron plains.
