Ref.4738: 15th and 18th C. property for sale in the centre of Laval in Mayenne This medieval dwelling stands on high ground in the historic town centre (right bank) of Laval, close to the castle, cathedral and Perrine garden. It is accessible by car. Located at the gateway to Brittany, in the Pays-de-la-Loire region and in the historic province of Maine, Laval has been awarded the ‘Ville d'art et d'histoire' (City of Art and History) label, and stands out for its rich medieval architectural heritage, dominated by its majestic castle and 13th-century hourd overlooking the river Mayenne. The town centre is vibrant, with a wide range of facilities (university, hospital, gourmet market) and a strong economic base, particularly in the virtual reality, distribution and dairy sectors. The town also benefits from excellent transport links, with its TGV station linking Paris in 1 hour 10 minutes, and its proximity to the A81 motorway linking Paris. Surrounded by greenery, Laval is ideal for a country lifestyle, with walks along the river, close to locks and guinguettes, and the pleasures of the surrounding countryside. It's the perfect place to live for families and for working people looking for authenticity and comfort. The birthplace of Alfred Jarry, the famous author of Ubu Roi, and Ambroise Paré, the ‘Father of modern surgery', Laval is also inseparable from Douanier Rousseau, the master of naive painting whose works are recognised the world over. These emblematic figures embody the duality of the artistic and innovative soul of Laval, a city that elegantly combines heritage, culture and quality of life.
