Discover Lécousse

Three themes are especially useful when planning a stay in Lécousse: municipal cultural activities, historic buildings and routes. The cultural activities include exhibition and event spaces, as well as classes. The architectural heritage reflects different stages of preservation: a once extensive manor estate, of which only a few remains survive today; individual architectural features preserved in later buildings; and a restored paper mill. The routes range from a tourist cycle route between Mont-Saint-Michel and Nantes to a connection between two local endpoints.

Cultural Activities and Classes

The Médiathèque has a space for exhibitions and events throughout the year. At Espace Irène Frain, the exhibition hall is open to regional artists wishing to present their work. The programme also includes a flower-arranging workshop six times a year, as well as cardboard craft classes for adults, held over five sessions. This offers formats with different time commitments: a workshop and a class spread over five sessions. If a particular date matters for your trip, check the current programme, as individual events and class dates may change.

Historic Buildings

The manor house Le Manoir is dated to 1598. The once substantial estate included a residence, chapel, barn, stable and cellar; only a few remains survive today. The focus is therefore on both the dated history of the building and the transformation of the former estate.

The manor house Vilherbue dates from the 16th century. Its entrance door and fireplace have been preserved in a later building. In the hamlet of Le Pont stands a house dating from the late 16th or early 17th century that has survived despite alterations. It has a moulded round-arched doorway and a moulded window. The two examples show different forms of preservation: at Vilherbue, individual architectural features were retained in a later building, while the house at Le Pont survived despite alterations.

La Porcherie comprises a converted building with a cellar and residence. Preserved features include a window with a moulded, projecting sill, a fireplace with fluted decoration, and a lintel inscribed “M R. G I / B. I. FLOC / 1613”.

The paper mill Pont aux Ânes on the right bank of the Nançon tells a different story of historical use. It was already operating in the early 17th century, later fell into disrepair, was purchased in 1976 and fully restored. The sequence of early operation, decline, purchase and restoration gives the mill a different historical perspective from the manor houses and the homes whose history can be traced through preserved architectural features.

Routes and Sports Facilities

The tourist cycle route La Régalante is 275 kilometres long and connects Mont-Saint-Michel with Nantes. In Lécousse, it follows a section of the former railway line. The Promenade Verte connects Montaubert school with Chemin du Martray. The routes therefore differ in scale: La Régalante is a long-distance cycle link between two cities, while the Promenade Verte connects two local points. As route infrastructure and alignments may change, check the latest information before setting out.

The municipal sports facilities include Salle Goéland in the sports complex, which is intended for martial arts and judo. If you are interested in either discipline, check the current arrangements for activities in advance.
