Hiking
The Roche mill in Fromentières is an old water mill, probably of medieval origin, enlarged and modernized in 1843, then rebuilt as a flour mill in 1935 after a fire. You can admire the architecture of the mill, as well as the lock and the bridge which cross the Mayenne. The hike, approximately 4 km long, follows the banks of the river and offers peaceful and relaxing views of the countryside. You can leave the car park near the mill and follow the signs indicating the Moulin de la Roche circuit.

Écluse de la Roche du Maine (or Écluse du Moulin de la Roche). The two mills are recently (re)built (mid-19th century) but there have already been flour mills at this location since the 17th century.
