Fort des Salles is one of the most little-known castles in Sarthe. Dating from the Middle Ages, it was probably built during the reign of Henry II Plantagenet. The castle, which is very rarely visited, is private and is under rehabilitation. Right next door, you will find a pretty little body of water and a municipal campsite.

Magnificent little village established on the banks of the Loir. From the bridge which crosses the course you can see the bell tower of its church as well as the old mill.

The Loir gives this city an undeniable charm. The river crosses the city in several places, inviting you to stroll. Known for its numerous flea markets, La Charte-sur-Loir was also sung about by the poet Ronsard during the 16th century.
