Set on the banks of the River Mayenne, Laval is a ‘City of Art and History’, with an astonishingly rich architectural heritage. During your stopover, you'll discover squares to stroll around on, activities and leisure activities to enjoy with the whole family, and numerous monuments to visit: the castle, religious buildings, the astonishing Museum of Naïve Art - the only one of its kind in Europe - its ‘bains-douches’ and its washboat, to name but a few!

And why not come and visit us at the end of the year?

At the end of the year, Laval is decked out in festive costumes and lights. It's the perfect time to enjoy the magnificent spectacle that has been ‘Les Lumières de Laval’ for the last 10 years. It's an original way of illuminating the whole city that attracts more and more visitors every year.

We look forward to seeing you there!

The Mayenne department is a paradise for walkers, cyclists and horse riders. Crossed from north to south by the Mayenne valley (river tourism), its 85 km of easily accessible towpaths make up one of the most beautiful greenways in France, offering an astonishing variety of landscapes of hedged farmland, rivers and wooded areas.

There are many ways to get around Laval and the agglomeration: on foot, by bus, by bike, by train... Laval Agglomo is particularly committed to promoting soft mobility : pedestrian zones, cycle paths, public transport and scooters.
