ボークドレーの湖での周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

There has been a church on this site since the 12th century, but the basilica you see in front of you was built in 1900. From the streets of Mayenne the church dominates and is very impressive.

This castle was built in the 10th century. Half a century later, the castle became a garrison castle. 400 years later, it served as a prison in the 18th century. In the middle of town, the castle gardens are worth wandering through for a quiet moment.

This superb castle deserves to be discovered. To take a picture or simply to admire its towers and its splendour. In its time, it was also the subject of one or two postcards.

The pond is a place of calm. You will enjoy walking along the water's edge with this body of water and its relaxing qualities, the fauna and flora and the landscape.

The theater was built between AD 81 and 83. Thousands of years old, we know the exact dates from a dedication found during excavations, similar to the plaques often found on our buildings today who dedicate a building to a person, a wealthy donor or a dignitary who inaugurated it. The person in question in this case? A wealthy local trader by the name of Orgetorix.

Built on the site of a former Carolingian residence of the 10th century, the castle, which dominates the old town, is the emblematic monument of Mayenne. Most of the visible elements date from the 13th century, in particular the dwelling and the circular keep. It houses the city museum, which exhibits objects from daily life in the Middle Ages. Medieval board games, including chess pieces and a backgammon board, are among the best-preserved pieces in the world.
