Fortress built in the mid-11th century, it was rebuilt in the 17th century by the Carmelite monks who founded their monastery there. It became a private house after the revolution and, as the oldest building in the city, was converted into the town hall in the early 20th century.

This pretty little village is located on the borders of Maine, Anjou and Touraine. In addition to being crossed by the Loir, there are also two of its tributaries, the Fare and the Meaulne. Wheat mills once inhabited its banks.
