마실 것과 먹을 것을 파는 곳이 있는 아주 예쁜 작은 마을

A lovely artist's village not to be missed.

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.

The oldest parts of this church seem to date from the Middle Ages, but the building was greatly remodeled in the 16th century. The side chapels were added at this time, as was the opening of the large stained glass window of the choir. The steeple, restored in the 19th century, is covered with slate. Inside the church, two polychrome statues attract attention. One of the Virgin in terracotta, the other of Saint Barbara in stone, dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. A wooden Christ is also worth noting. The wooden stalls date from the 18th century, as does the altarpiece of the high altar (1755). The wrought iron communion railing dating from the 18th century is still in place. Its rocaille-style ornamentation is common at this time. Until 1911, the church was surrounded by its cemetery.

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.

Saint-Martin Chapel. It dates from the 12th or 13th century. It is made of granite, roussard sandstone and brick. This small chapel is lost in the middle of the fields. It is a simple rectangular nave which has a Romanesque window at its chevet.
