Saint-Calais Church

Highlight • Other

In Meslay I came to the castle Meslay, which was built in the years 1732-1735. Since 2017 it is a monument historique. From there you can already see the church in the village: Saint-Calais, built in 1734.

The church as well as the castle as well as the older buildings in the village were built by Jean-Francois de La Porte, lord of Meslé, in the 1730s. During the siege of Vendome in November 1589, King Henry the Fourth had settled here.

In 1731 the lord also founded a textile manufactory for carpets and cloths. This was abandoned in 1865.

In the church, modern - partly naïve painting - representations of the Bible have emerged, with reference to the Song of Songs, the Apocalypse and other significant passages.

The artists Jean-Claude Ferron and Pierre Petot have created these paintings since 1988 to 1996, partly in Byzantine tradition.

These frescos are impressive.

Mooi castle

Highlight • Castle

The Château de Meslay is a neoclassical masterpiece where you can admire the architecture of the castle, which was built in the 18th century by Jules Michel Alexandre Hardouin, a royal architect. You can also learn about the history of the castle, which was visited by famous people such as Henri IV, the d'Argenson family and Germaine de Staël. The castle is surrounded by a park and gardens, classified as historic monuments since 1943. The Château de Meslay is a splendid place which will enchant you with its beauty and charm.

Along the Loir

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This area is ideal for hiking along the river that gave the region its name. Starting from the village of Pezou, with its beautiful 12th-century church, the trail leads through fields, forests, and hills. This route delights the senses and allows you to appreciate the beauty of nature.

Château de Renay

Highlight • Castle

Renay Castle is now in ruins. It was built in the 15th century and belonged to different noble families over the centuries, such as the Courcillons, the Rochambeaus, and the Raguet Lépines. The castle was partially registered as a historic monument in 1971, but it has not been well maintained by its successive owners. The last owner is Sylvain Durand, a dealer and collector who made his fortune with the paintings of Fernand Léger. He died in 2018 and his furniture and collection were sold at auction. The castle has suffered from a lack of maintenance and preservation, and has been damaged by vandalism and natural disasters. The tower, courtyards, chapel and chimneys are still visible, but most of the buildings are in a state of disrepair. It is a shame that such historical and architectural heritage is in such a state of disrepair, but the visit remains fascinating.
