There has been a church on this site since the 12th century, but the basilica you see in front of you was built in 1900. From the streets of Mayenne the church dominates and is very impressive.

This modest town in Mayenne has the particularity of having been an important Gallo-Roman city, formerly called Noviodunum, and which, according to experts, covered twenty-five hectares in the 1st century AD. Witness the remains of the temple, the thermal baths, the theater and the fortress, scattered in several places in the town. The thermal baths, visible under the current church, the stepped amphitheater, built around 80 AD and the ruins of the temple at the exit of the town, are freely accessible. The fortress stands on the edge of the Departmental Archaeological Museum.

It's a great alternative to the Velofrancette by taking the towpath from km 0. It rolls by itself and it's beautiful!

In the 12th century, the seigneury of Grazay was a vassal fief of the barony of Mayenne and belonged to the Courceriers. The castle appears to be a pleasure abode rather than a defensive fortress. The house consists of a hexagonal tower on the facade dated 1577, a covered wooden gallery between the tower and the pavilion and to the north a chapel with a beautiful dome roof. He kept the seigneury of the parish until the end of the 18th century in the Bazogers family. Château de la Cour 53440 Grazay, private property, cannot be visited, visible from the road to Marcillé la Ville. Source: http://www.chateau-fort-manoir-chateau.eu/
