    The Donjon de Ballon has been standing on a rocky outcrop facing Normandy for over 1000 years. Listed as a Historic Monument since 1923, the Keep has been restored since 1960 by the A'Weng Guéroult family.
    The gardens, inspired by the Middle Ages and Renaissance, classified as Remarkable Gardens, include a walled garden inside curtain walls made up of medicinal, tinctorial or culinary plants surrounded by boxwood borders and topiaries - An orchard of botanical fruit trees - A rose garden with more than 100 old roses, tree peonies and clematis. An exceptional panorama allows a view of the Saosnois over more than 30 km. Major tourist site in Sarthe open on weekends in May and June from 2.30 p.m. to 6.30 p.m. Open for Jardin Art et Soin on June 21 and 22.
