Riding up there by bike was quite strenuous, but the view from the top was worth the effort. It was well worth it.

11th Century Church Worship was abolished in the parish of Chevain. The church was sold for 31,700 livres to the citizen of Villeray on 6 Vendémiaire, Year VII (September 27, 1799). The Chevain church, having been donated by Madame du Hameau de Villeray to the commune by notarial deed dated April 16, 1827, was restored to worship there on January 15, 1827. The parish was established as a branch parish.

very varied and pleasant hike

Far from the high Alpine passes, here is a small climb in the Sarthe countryside. On the program, 1.8 kilometers at an average of 4.5% coming from Montreuil-le-Chétif, or 2.1 kilometers at an average of 5.2% from Pezé-le-Robert.

This 11th century medieval bridge is a beautiful place to contemplate Beaumont-sur-Sarthe for a short moment. In addition to the river, you can see the castle located on the heights of the town.

Beautiful 360 degree view

The church is composed of a bell tower grafted onto the side, the ground floor of which is vaulted with ribs, three of the bases supporting the fall of the arches having no decoration, the fourth being sculpted with a small fox's head. The stained glass windows are from 1866 and 1934-1942, five presenting an element of the heritage of the commune associated with a scene from the life of a Saint venerated in the parish, such as Saint Mathurin. The old presbytery from 1704 with openings with debarked lintels is attached to the church.

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.
