The patronage of this church has been entrusted to Saint Simeon, who is mentioned in the New Testament. According to the biblical account by Luke, he and the prophetess Anna were the two people present in the Temple in Jerusalem forty days after the birth of Jesus Christ, when Mary and Joseph—following Jewish custom—entered the Temple with their firstborn son and an offering (two doves). The Evangelist records the following prayer on the occasion of this encounter between the elderly Simeon and Jesus as the promised Messiah: "Now, Lord, you are releasing your servant in peace, according to your word. For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the presence of all nations: a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel." (Luke 2:29-32)

Magnificent viaduct, the largest in Mayenne, blends in very well with the landscape.

Atypical work of art (a little special all the same in this green setting on the banks of the Mayenne) with a staircase under the deck which allows you to cross the Mayenne.

As of August 2024, some stepping stones are now moved. You can no longer cross on them and will need to enter the water. Also, almost no directions/signs. Some paths are very overgrown. Beautiful but impossible to complete. Water is at least 40cm deep on dry days. Better walks in forest nearby.

It is the castle which gave its name to the town. Only the fortifications remain. These ramparts are more than a thousand years old and were built in the 11th century.

The Mayenne Viaduct is an impressive bridge that spans the Mayenne River for 300 meters and offers two ways to cross it: at road level with a bike or car, or at arch level with your feet. At the arch level, a wooden terrace located in the middle offers you a breathtaking view of the river and the surrounding landscape. You can also access the banks and towpath on both sides of the bridge, and enjoy nature and wildlife. The viaduct is part of the northern bypass of Château-Gontier, a charming town with a rich heritage that is worth visiting. Inaugurated in 2022, the viaduct is the largest road bridge in Mayenne.

The Rongère lock is a historic and panoramic site on the Mayenne River in France. There you will see the old mill, the bridge and the lock keeper's house, which date from the 19th century. You can also enjoy views of the river and surrounding countryside. A great way to discover the heritage and nature of South Mayenne.

These stepping stones will add a playful element to your run while allowing you to appreciate the Jouanne from the inside.
