This mill was in operation as early as the 12th century. Initially used for grinding wheat, it was used from the 19th century onwards for tanning and hemp processing. The Motte mill also had a backup windmill which took over when flooding prevented the main mill from operating.

The cave was built in 1898 by five young girls inspired by the beauty of the site and the apparitions of the Virgin Mary to Bernadette Soubirous. The cave is located on the banks of the Mayenne, where you can also admire the old mill and the lock which regulate the flow of water.

Villevêque Castle is a former residence of the bishops of Angers. This 12th century fortress, which overlooks the Loir, was rebuilt twice after being besieged during the Hundred Years' War. Today it houses a museum which presents a rich collection of art from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, donated by the collector Daniel Duclaux. There you can admire sculptures, ceramics, tapestries and furniture from different periods and regions. You can also walk in the garden, where part of the Elne cloister (14th century) has been reconstructed. The Château de Villevêque is open from Tuesday to Sunday, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.
