Château-Gontier-sur-Mayenne, a green setting between river and heritage

Welcome to Château-Gontier-sur-Mayenne, a town with timeless charm bordered by the Mayenne, offering a green setting and a rich architectural heritage. With its pretty cobbled streets, castles and natural spaces, this town in Haut-Anjou is ideal for a getaway between culture and nature.

A preserved heritage and a living historic center
The historic heart of Château-Gontier is marked by superb buildings such as the Saint-Jean-Baptiste church, with Roman influences, and the former Ursuline convent, which has become a dynamic cultural center. To discover: the Château de Château-Gontier, surrounded by manicured gardens, offers a dive into the medieval history of the region.

Nature omnipresent along the Mayenne
We recommend following the river on the Mayenne towpath, a specially designed route that is perfect for hikers and cyclists. This path runs along bucolic landscapes and allows you to observe locks and mills from yesteryear. For an even more immersive experience, navigating the Mayenne by boat without a license allows you to discover the region in an original and soothing way.

A typical gastronomy of Haut-Anjou
The region is renowned for its local produce, including Mayenne farm-raised veal, a very tender meat, and pommé, a preparation made from slowly cooked and caramelized apples.
