The Mayenne Viaduct is an impressive bridge that spans the Mayenne River for 300 meters and offers two ways to cross it: at road level with a bike or car, or at arch level with your feet. At the arch level, a wooden terrace located in the middle offers you a breathtaking view of the river and the surrounding landscape. You can also access the banks and towpath on both sides of the bridge, and enjoy nature and wildlife. The viaduct is part of the northern bypass of Château-Gontier, a charming town with a rich heritage that is worth visiting. Inaugurated in 2022, the viaduct is the largest road bridge in Mayenne.

Towpath along the Mayenne

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Mayenne towpath is one of the most beautiful greenways in France. It crosses the department of Mayenne and offers an 85 km route in the countryside. You will be able to appreciate the views of the castles, the locks, the fauna and the flora all along the route. The greenway begins in the town of Mayenne and ends in Lion-d'Angers. You can explore it on foot, by bike or even on horseback. The Mayenne towpath is also part of the Vélo Francette, a cycle route that connects Normandy to the Atlantic coast. Whether you want to do a short loop or a bigger adventure, the Mayenne Towpath is a perfect choice for a relaxing and rewarding hike.
