Best view of Laval Castle: The Pont Aristide-Briand, formerly Pont Neuf, spans the Mayenne. It dates from the early 19th century and is the second oldest bridge in the city after the Pont Vieux. A unique illumination can be experienced here at Christmas time.

View of the Vieux Château de Laval

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.

On the Pont Vieux in Laval 🌉✨

Highlight • Other

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.

Port Lake

This lake on the banks of the Mayenne is a fantastic place for hiking. You will find hiking trails all around the lake itself and for more interest you can look for the ardens where you will find a vegetable patch.
