Port-Rhingeard Lock

Highlight • Structure

The Mayenne is punctuated by several locks on this section. The port-Rhingeard lock was built in 1872 to replace a mill that had been there since the 15th century.

In Mayenne, there are about 6,400 crosses on the roads, of which at least fifty refer to the apparitions of Pontmain.

Pontmain? One of the 5 places where the Most Blessed Virgin Mary appeared in France.
In 1871, the whole parish of Pontmain prayed to ward off the Prussian war. Our Lady appears in the center of the village, and says to them:
"But pray my children, God will answer you in no time. My son allows himself to be touched."
The Virgin holds in her hands a red crucifix with a sign "Jesus Christ" above.

After 1871, Calvaries multiplied in Mayenne and often took up the model of the appearance of Pontmain. Even today, the "Crucifix de Pontmain" is very visible in Mayenne.

Le Choiseau de la Houssay 🛣️💫😵‍💫

Highlight • Other

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

Catholic Church - St-Aignan de La Houssaye⛪✨🌿

Highlight • Other

In Orleans, around 453, Saint Aignan was the bishop who, putting his trust in God alone, obtained from him, through repeated prayers and tears, that the city besieged by the Huns be delivered.

Mayenne Viaduct

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Mayenne Viaduct is an impressive bridge that spans the Mayenne River for 300 meters and offers two ways to cross it: at road level with a bike or car, or at arch level with your feet. At the arch level, a wooden terrace located in the middle offers you a breathtaking view of the river and the surrounding landscape. You can also access the banks and towpath on both sides of the bridge, and enjoy nature and wildlife. The viaduct is part of the northern bypass of Château-Gontier, a charming town with a rich heritage that is worth visiting. Inaugurated in 2022, the viaduct is the largest road bridge in Mayenne.
