サン・トゥーアン・ド・ミンブレ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ14

The Chapitrel is the name given to the entrance gate. The period door is in the Renaissance style. This construction had several functions: It was reserved for catechumens who were not allowed to enter the church and served as a warehouse for farmers who sold at the market on Sunday mornings. The saddleback tower dates from 1545. It is 28 m high. It is square and has four levels. Each floor is separated by an external Roussard belt called a "larmier" which overhangs quite widely, preventing water from running off. At the top of the roof are two granite crosses, each topped with a copper weather vane representing a crowned dragon's head.

Charming city of character. I highly recommend. On the other hand, the positive altitude difference is unavoidable since the village is in a hollow with significant cliffs around it.

The Sphinx rocks are made up of sandstone and are said to resemble the Sphinx of Giza. They were formed hundreds of millions of years ago. It's worth stopping briefly during your run if you need a break.

This small castle is built on a rocky promontory which dominates the main access roads to Alençon, Le Mans and Angers.

The Château de Fresnay-sur-Sarthe ensured the defense of the city in the Middle Ages. Although its construction dates back to the 10th century, it was modified and enlarged several times during the Middle Ages. From the 18th century, it fell into disrepair due to lack of maintenance. After being purchased by the municipality, the castle now houses the public garden. The two-towered châtelet recalls the physiognomy of the place in the 18th century.

The town of Saint-Léonard-des-Bois invites you to stop at one of the bars and restaurants on the main street or at the picnic area on the banks of the Sarthe. Nestled in the heart of the Alpes Mancelles, the town includes an area classified as a natural site. The Haut Fourché mound and the Misère valley which border the village have made it famous.

Very beautiful view of the river and the village
