One of the best explained castle histories I ever had. This ancient castle (carolingian) has great audio visual aids and explanations and a nice temporary exhibit about 19th century castles in the region. Highly recommend it.
I'm glad I visited but it's not what I expected, I was imagining walking into an old chateau and walking around the rooms etc like in lassay. Because of all the modern parts and flooring etc it feels like your only looking at an old wall here and there and only a very small part of it. It was interesting though and good displays.
Great castle of mayenne. Nice medieval architecture, large, string and beautiful. It is situated not so far from the city center. The garden next to the castle is nice. Opposite of the castle is the Mayenne river. I came to Mayenne many time but it’s the first time I visited here, it is worth a visit.
Went to the night festival, very popular we bumped into lots of friends. Entry free, parking close by.
Wonderfully atmospheric! Great job of making history come alive. Good English translations.
Brilliant museum, plenty on interactive stuff for children and adults of all ages. Under 18's free and only 4euros per adult. Well worth the money. Quite a mall castle but the self directed tour works well and you can easily spend an hour to an hour and a half here. Great lift for pushchairs and disabled. Free parking just outside, we were lucky as it was busy. If you don't mind a 10 minute walk you can park on the opposite side of the river in the shadow of the castle for free where there looked to be plenty of room or else pay at the metered parking.
Lots of centuries of history to this amazing place.
A nice way to whilst away a few hours in the city, reasonable priced entry for the family. Would recommend to all, not overly accessible but then 14th century architects probably weren't thinking if this when they designed it

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful place, sober and dynamic, which pays homage to all the deportees of Mayenne, without distinction.

Very helpful staff.
Well layed out easy to find what you are looking for. Staff spoke good English.
Helpful people in a beautiful location. Overnight in Campervan very tranquil
Lovely way to spend an afternoon
Woman was friendly and helpful
(Translated by Google) Very nice. The architecture is a bit surprising, but it looks out of place at first glance, but ultimately blends in well with the surroundings. Ask for access to the terrace to admire the view. It's a shame, by the way, that there's no direct access to this terrace... (Original) Très sympa. Architecture un peu surprenante qui jure au premier abord mais qui finalement s’intègre bien dans le paysage. Demander à accéder à la terrasse pour admirer le point de vue. C’est dommage d’ailleurs qu’il n’y ait pas d’accès direct à cette terrasse...

(Translated by Google) While passing through the region, this walk on the Mayenne was really great! A refreshing moment thanks to the very friendly welcome from the captain and his sailor-guide! Relaxation guaranteed on the waves of this beautiful river while listening to anecdotes about Mayenne, its fauna and flora. To do! (Original) De passage dans la région, cette balade sur la Mayenne était vraiment chouette ! Un moment rafraîchissant de part l'accueil très sympa du capitaine et de son matelot-guide ! Détente assurée sur les flots de cette belle rivière tout en écoutant des anecdotes sur la Mayenne, sa faune et sa flore. A faire !
(Translated by Google) Super pleasant little three-hour trip, very attentive, super friendly team! (Original) Petit voyage de trois heures super agréable, aux petits soins, équipe super sympa !
(Translated by Google) Hoist high...but where is the mast? Embark aboard the Meduana for an experience of fabulous tranquility. destination beautiful shores. The only boat in the world where you can sit wherever you want. Thanks to Captain Cool and his captivating guide sailor (Original) Hissez haut...mais ou est le mat?Embarquez a bord de la Meduana pour une experience de fabuleuse tranquilite. destination beaux rivages. Le seul bateau au monde ou on peut s'asseoir ou on veut. Merci au capitaine Cool et a sa captivante matelote guide
(Translated by Google) Well organized, good guide, nice boat but long and not much to see in reality. The two hours of cruising are unjustified, we saw 3 ducks and 1 heron, and a few anecdotes on the towpaths. The cruise doesn't really have any meaning or interest, it could easily last an hour, that would be more than enough for the content to be discovered. You will also pass each place twice since you will make 2 half turns... In short, nothing to complain about the organization, but rather the content. (Original) Bien organisé, bon guide, bateau sympa mais long et pas grand chose à voir en réalité. Les deux heures de croisière sont injustifiés, nous avons vu 3 canards et 1 héron, et quelques anecdotes sur les chemins de halage. La croisière n'a pas vraiment de sens, ni d'intérêt, elle pourrait facilement faire une heure cela suffirait amplement pour le contenu ay découvrir. Vous allez passer d'ailleurs 2 fois à chaque endroits puisque vous ferez 2 demi tours ... En somme rien à reprocher à l'organisation, mais plutôt au contenu.
(Translated by Google) Very pleasant walk to see the illuminations with good anecdotes, attentive staff. Thank you gentlemen (Original) Balade très agréable pour voir les illuminations avec de bon anecdotes personnel au petit soins Mercie a vous messieurs
(Translated by Google) Very nice, calm and relaxing walk allowing you to learn more about the history of the city while visiting it differently and seeing it in an unusual light. The young girl who steered the boat was an inexhaustible source of topics relating to the history, geography and anecdotes of the place and all this with contagious good humor. Really recommended. (Original) Très jolie promenade calme et relaxante permettant d'en apprendre plus sur l'histoire de la cité tout en la visitant différemment et en la voyant sous un jour inhabituel. La jeune fille qui dirigeait la barque était une source inépuisable de sujets touchant l'histoire, la géographie et les anecdotes du lieu et tout cela avec une bonne humeur contagieuse. Vraiment à recommander.
(Translated by Google) Very pleasant walk on the Mayenne. The captain is very pleasant. The young girl who comments is an inexhaustible source of knowledge: fauna, flora, history, geography, the amount of information we receive is impressive. Very nice walk, very calm and really informative. (Original) Promenade très agréable sur la Mayenne. Le capitaine est très agréable. La jeune fille qui commente est une source inépuisable de connaissances que ce soit : faune, flore, histoire, géographie, le nombre de renseignements que l'on reçoit est impressionnant. Très belle promenade, très calme et vraiment instructive.
(Translated by Google) Short boat trip in Mayenne, in the town of Mayenne and on the Mayenne. 2-hour walk on the fauna and flora, passage of 2 locks. All commented on by a very joking guide and his captain on duty. Thank you for these 2 hours spent with you (Original) Petite promenade en bateau en Mayenne, dans la ville de Mayenne et sur la Mayenne. Ballade de 2h sur la faune, la flore, passage de 2 ecluses.

(Translated by Google) This is an unusual place. A mix between a bar and a bookstore, we're surrounded by books, stories, and history. The owner will be happy to tell you about the architecture and its hidden gems. Once or twice a month, a writing workshop is held here. This workshop is led by Sandrine, a young writer.

We went there as a group (13 people). After visiting the shop, we sat on the terrace for a drink. This terrace really is a little cocoon, you can't imagine what you'll find there and I won't tell you. But I strongly advise you to go and discover this bookstore bar and its terrace for yourself. (Original) La caverne d'Ali Baba des livres. endroit que l’on a pas envie de quitter. l’accueil y est aussi chaleureux que la boutique. Pouvoir prendre un verre au milieu des livres, c’est Vraiment super. Nous y sommes allés en groupe (13 personnes). Après avoir visité la boutique, nous nous sommes installés sur la terrasse pour prendre un verre. Vraiment cette terrasse, un petit cocon, on ne peut pas imaginer ce que l’on y trouve et je ne vous le dirais pas. Mais je vous conseille fortement d’aller découvrir par vous-même ce bar bouquinerie et sa terrasse
(Translated by Google) What a pleasure to come and stroll along the quays and discover a magical and magnificent place, this “Bouquiniste café”! What a joy to find books that cannot be found in a traditional bookstore and to enjoy an excellent coffee.

A must-see place when you come to Mayenne! (Original) Quel plaisir de venir flâner le long des quais et de découvrir un lieu magique et magnifique, ce "Bouquiniste café" !
