This church has existed since at least the 9th century, but it got its current appearance in the 12th century, when Benedictines set up a priory there.

The nuns left Avesnières during the Hundred Years War and the church then became a simple parish church again. It was elevated to the rank of minor basilica in 1898 by Pope Leo XIII.

The "Pont Vieux" makes it possible to cross the Mayenne to Laval. It dates from the 12th century, until the construction of the Pont Aristide-Briand (or "Pont Neuf") at the beginning of the 19th century, it is the only bridge in Laval.
Listed as a Historic Monument since 1926, it was originally called "Pont Saint-Julien". The Laval hospital chapel also had the same patron saint.

On the Old Bridge of Laval, one is captivated by the medieval castle which sits over the city, in particular by this "Tour-Maîtresse", a jewel of medieval architecture.

Anecdote at the origin of this bridge: Guy I of Laval, Lord of Laval in 1020 spanned the Mayenne at the foot of his castle. But he fell with his mount and, seeing himself lost, commended himself to the Most Blessed Virgin Mary. Brought back mysteriously to the shore, he was making a prayer of gratitude when, in the branches of an oak tree, the Blessed Virgin appeared to him. He built a chapel, called Notre-Dame d'Avesnières, and a monastery of nuns where his daughters entered.

Pilgrims flocked there and the chapel, enlarged several times, gave way to a basilica completed by Count Guy V de Laval, great-grandson of the founder.

Pont Aristide-Briand

Highlight • Bridge

Best view of Laval Castle: The Pont Aristide-Briand, formerly Pont Neuf, spans the Mayenne. It dates from the early 19th century and is the second oldest bridge in the city after the Pont Vieux. A unique illumination can be experienced here at Christmas time.
