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.

Courthouses are not all equally beautiful. This one hits pretty hard.

Saint Joseph is the patron saint of fathers, workers, but also "of the good mother". This is why he is often chosen to patronize hospital chapels.
Among the reasons which compel us to recognize Saint Joseph as the advocate of the dying, we can notice three main ones:
- his own death took place in the arms of Jesus, his adopted son and of the Most Holy Virgin Mary, the happiest one could wish,
- his quality as the adoptive father of Jesus, the "Sovereign Judge", on whom our eternal salvation will depend,
- his formidable power against the demons who, at the moment of death, give their last attacks with more virulence.

Château-Gontier Castle

Highlight • Monument

It is the castle that gave its name to the town. Only the fortifications remain. These ramparts are more than millennia old and were built in the 11th century.

Château-Gontier is a medieval gem. The banks of the Mayenne offer peaceful walks, while its lively weekly market brings residents together in a friendly atmosphere.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best repairman of my life! 5/5!
Fraternal, benevolent and efficient!
I dropped off my bike at 11:45 a.m., the rear wheel warped and the luggage rack in pieces. I picked it up at 2:30 p.m. 😃 impeccable, nickel - new wheel and new luggage rack - ready to leave for my roaming trip 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That's pro, top of the top 👍🏻
