After the Blessed Virgin Mary, "Saint Mary Magdalene" is the most frequently mentioned woman in the New Testament writings. Originally called "Mary of Magdala," after her place of origin on the Sea of Galilee, over time the name "Mary Magdalene" developed. According to biblical accounts, she is one of the women and men who followed Jesus of Nazareth. Furthermore, according to the Gospels, Mary Magdalene is one of the three women who, after the crucifixion and burial of Jesus Christ, wanted to anoint his body on Easter morning after the Sabbath, and she was the very first person to encounter the Risen Christ. In theology, she is therefore also called the "Apostle to the Apostles." The feast day of Saint Mary Magdalene in the liturgical calendar is July 22.

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.

Magnificent site with camping and a waterfront café. Relaxing and pleasant.

Grez-Neuville is a charming village on the banks of the Mayenne. The port has been a base for river tourism in Anjou since the 80s, and you can watch the boats coming and going on the river.

Grez Neuville is a charming little village where I recommend you stroll along the Quai de l'Hirondelle and the lock. There you will find pretty views over the village, the Mayenne and an old mill.

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.
