Tips from the Community
The construction of the old church, razed in 1880, was attributed to the lord of Gué. The current church was built between 1880 and 1885 by the contractor Jean-Marie Huchet, based on plans by architect Aristide Folie. The furniture program was designed by Arthur Regnault between 1880 and 1900. The oldest stained glass windows are signed Claudius Lavergne et Fils. This church has a Latin cross plan and a porch bell tower at the facade. The interior is divided into three naves covered by false vaults on ribbed vaults. Neo-Gothic style. Spire not built.

Nice and agreeable path along the Villaine river with ample shade. Best for strolls. If on a bike, please be courteous to walkers and watch out for the kids. There are many running around.

The current church is placed under the protection of Saint-Martin-de-Tours, a famous Roman legionary from the 3rd century who cut his coat in two to clothe a poor destitute. Having become a monk, the inhabitants of Tours forced him to become their bishop. The church is located on the site of the old building which is said to date back to the 8th century but no trace of it remains. A new church was rebuilt in 1646. The bell tower was restored after the fire of 1911.

Nice passage under the pines near the pond of Dézerseul, in Cesson-Sévigné, and which leads to Vault Martin, then Thorigné-Fouillard, to reach the forest of Rennes. Ideal for taking a break, picnicking, cooling off.

The Cuttlefish originates in the west of the village of Petre in Ille-et-Vilaine, in a small pond near the locality of L’Epine Houget, at an altitude of 167 m. It passes in total through twenty-six municipalities, ie twenty-four municipalities located in Ille-et-Vilaine and two municipalities in Mayenne. We cannot dissociate the cuttlefish from the exploitation of the Pont-Péan mining site which has shaped it since 1729, and this for two centuries. Period of combat with and against water, especially with its bed, first channeled from the confluence of the Vilaine to the castle of Carcé, then diverted by a channel from Carcé to Pont-Péan.
