The Mayenne is a green department, whose groves stretch as far as the eye can see. There are many walks to do in Mayenne, whether by mountain bike, by foot (the towpath offers a pleasant hike for the whole family, as well as the banks of the Mayenne) or by boat. Indeed, river tourism is developed in the department: visiting the Mayenne by river is therefore possible! The Mont des Avaloirs, which rises to 417 metres, is also a popular place for hikers.
We also advise you to visit the animal refuge of L'Arche. This refuge extends over 14 hectares and takes in many abandoned animals.
