Tips from the Community
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)

The Church of Our Lady of Sablé-sur-Sarthe is believed to have been built in the 15th century. Extensively restored over the centuries, it now boasts a late 18th-century neo-Gothic style, which has helped to highlight its medieval architecture. During the third quarter of the 17th century, the church's high altar was restored, and at the end of the first quarter of the 18th century, three new bells were cast by workshops in Le Mans. Finally, in the mid-18th century, the bell tower was rebuilt, as we can still see it today.

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.

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.
