Mirwault Lock

Highlight • Structure

The Mirwault lock is the entrance for boaters to Château-Gontier. It is now mechanized and fully automated. The lock keeper is responsible and can take over if necessary. It's worth stopping by to see it in action.

Grez Neuville is a charming little village where I recommend you stroll along the Quai de l'Hirondelle and the lock. There you will find pretty views over the village, the Mayenne and an old mill.

La Roussière Lock

Highlight • Structure

Picturesque lock on the banks of the Mayenne on the Vélo Francette route. It is an ideal place to take a break and enjoy the idyllic setting. You can stock up at the Écluse bistro, or visit the small village.
