Réf. 4927: A charming manor house in a picturesque setting near Laval and Sainte-Suzanne (Mayenne department).

Situated in the former province of Maine, now part of the Mayenne department, this property is set in unspoilt countryside, in the heart of a particularly peaceful hedgerow landscape. Just a few kilometres away, a local town provides the main shops and everyday amenities. The property also benefits from an easily accessible location, close to Laval and the motorway linking Paris to Brittany.

THE ERVE VALLEY

To the East of the Mayenne, the Erve Valley offers a remarkable landscape, shaped by the river and dotted with meadows, woods and gently rolling hills. This unspoilt environment provides a particularly pleasant setting, where sunken lanes, green valleys and charming villages alternate.
At the heart of this valley lies Sainte-Suzanne, listed among the ‘Most Beautiful Villages of France’, whose silhouette—dominated by the castle and the church—is one of the Mayenne’s most iconic landscapes. The medieval town, with its ramparts and ancient alleyways, bears witness to the rich history of this region, whilst the Erve Valley offers numerous opportunities for walks and for exploring unspoilt natural surroundings.
The area thus retains a deeply rural and heritage-rich identity, whilst benefiting from its proximity to Laval, the prefecture of Mayenne, and its many services, shops and facilities. Furthermore, Laval’s TGV station allows travellers to reach Paris in under an hour and a half, providing easy access to the capital. This location thus combines the charm and tranquillity of a rural setting with excellent transport links, in an area particularly sought-after for the quality of its landscapes and the richness of its heritage.)
