Mayenne (department 53)  
 
Capital Laval

Mayenne is in west central France, it was named after the Mayenne River. Covering an area of 2,012 square miles (5,212 km2), its highest point is Mont des Avaloirs (1,370 feet/417 m).

The Mayenne is a department in the Loire Valley, not to be confused with either the river or the town of the same name, both of which are found within the Mayenne. This is a largely agricultural area, yet it is undoubtedly one of the most unspoilt parts of the Pays-de la Loire region.

Mayenne is part of the current region of Pays de la Loire and is surrounded by the départements of Manche, Orne, Sarthe, Maine-et-Loire, and Ille-et-Vilaine.It was one of the original 83 departments created during the French Revolution on March 4, 1790. It was created from the former province of Maine, and with parts in Maine and Anjou.

To the north of the department is part of the Parc Naturel Régional de Normandie et Maine, packed with wildlife and spread over several thousand acres of deep forests and steep hills.


This lovely part of France is renowned for its cheeses and fruit - apples for cider and calvados, also pears for perry.
