• La Flèche Zoo : Located in the middle of the forest, in the heart of the Sarthe valley, in a lush setting, La Flèche Zoo is one of the five largest zoological parks in France. Its 14 hectares are home to more than 120 animal species from the five continents - more than 1200 animals! - including some rare breeds. Mammals (elephants, white tigers, polar bears, Arctic wolves, Chinese pandas, monkeys, etc.), reptiles, birds, etc., live in areas that are in harmony with their natural environment, such as the Argentinean pampas, the taiga and the Australian bush. Numerous activities, including superb sea lion, bird of prey and parrot shows, are offered to young and old.
• Asnières-sur-Vègres : Located about ten kilometres from Sablé-sur-Sarthe, Asnières-sur-Vègre is a must-see in the Sarthe Valley for heritage lovers! You will enjoy strolling through its flowery streets, contemplating the murals of the small church...
• The Abbey of Solesmes : Both majestic and impressive from the top of its imposing silhouette overlooking the banks of the Sarthe, the Abbey of Saint-Pierre de Solesmes, founded in 1010, is a Mecca for Gregorian chant. Occupied by a community of Benedictine monks, only the abbey church can be visited. The transept of the abbey church contains masterpieces of the French Renaissance: the Saints of Solesmes, two sculpted ensembles dating from the 15th and 16th centuries. The Entombment of Christ, in the south arm, and the scenes relating to the episodes in the life of the Virgin - Pamoison, Dormition, Assumption, Triumph of the Virgin -, in the north arm, make it a must-see for all lovers of sacred art.
• The Church of Saint Hilaire : The walls of this small church are covered with impressive medieval decorations which make this village famous. Enter and admire! These paintings were made between the 12th and 15th centuries to decorate the church and to convey messages to the faithful.
• Malicorne, city of earthenware and art crafts : Malicorne-sur-Sarthe has been awarded the "Ville et Métiers d'art" label and is renowned for its fine and delicate openwork earthenware. A paradise for designers, it is home to craftsmen who work with earthenware, but not only that... At the Musée de la faïence et de la céramique, a Musée de France, visit the interior of the kilns and discover old ceramics or contemporary creations that reflect an era, a lifestyle or an artistic movement. Whether you are with friends or family, have fun creating a small Barbotine piece during your visit or sign up for the various workshops led by a professional.
• Le Petit Sablé : For all food lovers, you are in the home of the pure butter biscuit! Invented in Sablé-sur-Sarthe in 1670, this small, dry, round biscuit, sometimes with serrations, is part of France's culinary heritage. Made only in Sablé-sur-Sarthe with 100% natural products.
