Day 1

Welcome to Laval!
Place your bags in a hotel right in the heart of the city – a stone’s throw from the train station and Laval’s must-see attractions. To start your getaway on the right foot off to a good start, a gourmet box of local produce awaits you: a tasty taste of the region as soon as you arrive!

A afternoon of freewheeling
Saddle up for a bike ride along the towpath!
Between river, nature and heritage, let yourself be carried away by the bucolic charm of Laval. A half-day of pure freedom, to the gentle rhythm of the Mayenne.

A savoury evening
Set sail for a restaurant in Vieux Laval for a convivial gourmet break. Enjoy generous, traditional cuisine in a heart-warming atmosphere.
Then head to your hotel for a well-deserved night’s rest.

Morning – Art & charming alleyways
Start the day gently with a good breakfast at the hotel, then set off to discover Vieux Laval. Let yourself be seduced by its narrow streets full of character before plunging into the astonishing world of MANAS, the Museum of Naive Art and Singular Arts. An inspiring guided tour full of surprises awaits you here!

Lunch – Flavours on the go
On Saturdays, head for the Laval market! In a lively, authentic atmosphere, put together a gourmet lunch based on fresh produce and local specialities, to enjoy on the go. No market that day? You’ll easily find something to tantalise your taste buds in the city centre’s fine restaurants.

Afternoon – Head for the river
Sail away in complete freedom aboard an electric boat, departing from the river stop. To round off your stay in style, treat yourself to a gourmet break at the guinguette, with your feet almost in the water. Relaxation guaranteed!
