Pont moyenâgeux -Parne Sur Roc If you arrive along the road from Entrammes (where a Roman thermal spa still stands under the church) you can see why its setting is so advantageous.
Before entering the steep, flowery streets, go down to the medieval bridge to appreciate the view and spare a thought for the Marquise de Sévigné, who drove her carriage into the water here.
Trout are farmed and processed (fillets, rillettes, eggs, etc.) in Parné-sur-Roc, a tasty speciality that you’ll find on the menu of many Mayenne restaurants.
You can buy this great product directly from the business.
Anglers will be interested to know that you can fish on site. Groups are welcome.
Pêche à la Truite Parné sur Roc
Bassin de truites Parné sur RocBesides the Romanesque church and its many-coloured paintings, The appeal of Parné lies in the architectural variety of its town houses.
It’s as if the local people were working on a collection of medieval, Renaissance and 19th century dwellings.
Each building cultivates its difference – the staircase tower of the medieval houses, a house with two turrets, the half-timbering of the Croix-Blanche, decorative fantasies on the Maison du Frippier – come and see the variety for yourself!
Walk around and discover more.
