with the family for a weekend

Day 1

“In Laval, start your day with a visit to the Tourist Office, where our travel advisors will be delighted to guide you as you explore the historic center. With the map and personalised tips they provide, you’ll be ready to discover the town’s hidden gems. At every step, let yourself be surprised by Laval’s heritage — and keep your eyes wide open so you don’t miss a thing…

After this first part of the tour, take a well-deserved break in one of the local restaurants. Take the time to sample local cuisine while sharing your first impressions of the mysteries of Laval’s heritage.

In Saint-Berthevin, head for the Arche Desnoé, a 3-hectare wildlife park. This park is ideal for families looking to immerse themselves in the animal world. You’ll discover a variety of local species, including dwarf goats, pheasants, ponies and farmyard animals. Don’t miss the chance to admire rarer species such as 4-horned sheep, llamas and watussi cows. You’ll have plenty of time to get away from it all and observe the diversity of the fauna, while enjoying a soothing natural setting.

To round off a day rich in discoveries, relax by consulting the calendar of events in Laval. Why not end the day with a cultural activity?
