Through September and November the Mayenne south of Laval is largely drained to allow for repairs to the locks ( ecluse ) and general maintence each year.

L'Ecluse de Briacé is a historic site on Mayenne, where you can enjoy a picturesque hike along the canal.

Very beautiful ironwork, reminiscent of Jules Verne, Eiffel, and therefore steampunk

Here I almost died. I think I had the scare of my life. Having lost control of my bike on the slope, I fell on my luggage rack, and it braked my rear wheel, veiling it. For a quarter of a second, I thought I was going to finish him in the background, and that I couldn't get out without a serious injury. It's crazy all the ideas that go through your head in such a short time. Eventually, or miraculously, everything stopped, and I didn't even find myself on the ground. #AMDG

On the Old Bridge of Laval, one is captivated by the medieval castle which sits over the city, in particular by this "Tour-Maîtresse", a jewel of medieval architecture. Anecdote at the origin of this bridge: Guy I of Laval, Lord of Laval in 1020 spanned the Mayenne at the foot of his castle. But he fell with his mount and, seeing himself lost, commended himself to the Most Blessed Virgin Mary. Brought back mysteriously to the shore, he was making a prayer of gratitude when, in the branches of an oak tree, the Blessed Virgin appeared to him. He built a chapel, called Notre-Dame d'Avesnières, and a monastery of nuns where his daughters entered. Pilgrims flocked there and the chapel, enlarged several times, gave way to a basilica completed by Count Guy V de Laval, great-grandson of the founder.

The "Pont Vieux" makes it possible to cross the Mayenne to Laval. It dates from the 12th century, until the construction of the Pont Aristide-Briand (or "Pont Neuf") at the beginning of the 19th century, it is the only bridge in Laval. Listed as a Historic Monument since 1926, it was originally called "Pont Saint-Julien". The Laval hospital chapel also had the same patron saint.
