Pont Aristide-Briand

Highlight • Bridge

Best view of Laval Castle: The Pont Aristide-Briand, formerly Pont Neuf, spans the Mayenne. It dates from the early 19th century and is the second oldest bridge in the city after the Pont Vieux. A unique illumination can be experienced here at Christmas time.

On the Old Bridge of Laval, one is captivated by the medieval castle which sits over the city, in particular by this "Tour-Maîtresse", a jewel of medieval architecture.

Anecdote at the origin of this bridge: Guy I of Laval, Lord of Laval in 1020 spanned the Mayenne at the foot of his castle. But he fell with his mount and, seeing himself lost, commended himself to the Most Blessed Virgin Mary. Brought back mysteriously to the shore, he was making a prayer of gratitude when, in the branches of an oak tree, the Blessed Virgin appeared to him. He built a chapel, called Notre-Dame d'Avesnières, and a monastery of nuns where his daughters entered.

Pilgrims flocked there and the chapel, enlarged several times, gave way to a basilica completed by Count Guy V de Laval, great-grandson of the founder.

The "Pont Vieux" makes it possible to cross the Mayenne to Laval. It dates from the 12th century, until the construction of the Pont Aristide-Briand (or "Pont Neuf") at the beginning of the 19th century, it is the only bridge in Laval.
Listed as a Historic Monument since 1926, it was originally called "Pont Saint-Julien". The Laval hospital chapel also had the same patron saint.

Château de Mayenne

Highlight • Castle

This castle was built in the 10th century. Half a century later, the castle became a garrison castle. 400 years later, it served as a prison in the 18th century. In the middle of town, the castle gardens are worth wandering through for a quiet moment.

Jublains, Gallo-Roman town

Highlight • Other

This modest town in Mayenne has the particularity of having been an important Gallo-Roman city, formerly called Noviodunum, and which, according to experts, covered twenty-five hectares in the 1st century AD. Witness the remains of the temple, the thermal baths, the theater and the fortress, scattered in several places in the town. The thermal baths, visible under the current church, the stepped amphitheater, built around 80 AD and the ruins of the temple at the exit of the town, are freely accessible. The fortress stands on the edge of the Departmental Archaeological Museum.

Saint Martin Church of Deux-Évailles

Highlight • Religious Site

In the heart of the picturesque village of Deux-Évailles, nestled in the department of Mayenne, sits the Saint-Martin Church, a true jewel of architectural and spiritual heritage. This church, which has gracefully survived the centuries, is much more than a simple place of worship; it embodies the rich and eventful history of the region.

The history of Saint-Martin Church dates back to the Middle Ages, a time when the Christian faith was the pillar of daily life. The first traces of the church date back to the 12th century, when it was erected. Over the centuries, it has undergone transformations, renovations and additions which bear witness to the evolution of Gothic architecture and the importance of religion in society.

During the French Revolution, the church witnessed major upheavals. Like many other religious buildings, it has been affected by acts of vandalism and has been used for secular purposes. Despite these trials, Saint-Martin Church survived and was restored in the 19th century, preserving its legacy for future generations.

The Saint-Martin Church is distinguished by its remarkable architecture, mixing Romanesque and Gothic elements. The imposing facade, adorned with delicate sculptures, welcomes visitors with timeless elegance. The pointed vaults inside the church create an effect of grandeur and harmony, emphasizing the skill of the craftsmen who contributed to its construction.

The majestic bell tower rises above the village, offering a panoramic view of the surrounding area. Its imposing presence testifies to the central place occupied by the church in community life, both as a place of worship and as a visual landmark.
