Mayenne
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.
