It is a bridge over the Ernée which connects the village of Chailland to the forest of Mayenne. The deck is a good place to watch the sunset or have a picnic.

This church is a neo-Gothic building built in 1892 on the site of a Romanesque church. It has stained glass windows by master glassmaker Alleaume and a remarkable 18th century organ. The church is located in the picturesque village of Chailland, surrounded by hills and forests. There you can admire the Ernée river and the Rocher de la Vierge, which houses a statue of the Virgin Mary. You can also explore the surrounding trails which offer varying levels of difficulty and length. The Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption Church in Chailland is a hike that will please both your eyes and your ears.

This lake on the banks of the Mayenne is a fantastic place for hiking. You will find hiking trails all around the lake itself and for more interest you can look for the ardens where you will find a vegetable patch.

In 1399, the chaussée de Belle-Poule ensured the operation of a mill located on the right bank of the Mayenne. In 1834, a second mill was built on the left bank. The canalization of the Mayenne led to their destruction. A lock and new dam project was drawn up in 1847 by engineer Leblanc and then taken up in 1850 by engineer E. Caillaux. The works were completed in 1853 1399 sicherte die Chaussée de Belle-Poule den Betrieb einer Mühle am rechten Ufer der Mayenne. 1834 wurde am linken Ufer eine zweite Mühle gebaut. Die Kanalisierung der Mayenne führte zu ihrer Zerstörung. Ein Schleusen- und neues Dammprojekt wurde 1847 von Ingenieur Leblanc entworfen und 1850 von Ingenieur E. Cailaux in Angriff genommen. Die Arbeiten wurden 1853 abgeschlossen.
