Discover Louvigné-de-Bais

Explore Louvigné-de-Bais through its local highlights: the Église Saint-Patern with its layered building history, the Circuit des Diligences and the Parc des merveilles. There is also a QR code walk, a Vélo Promenade® route and municipal events.

Church and architectural heritage

The remarkable stained-glass windows of the Église Saint-Patern date from the 15th century. They are older than the nave, which Richard Babin built between 1536 and 1546. The exterior architecture also offers specific details, including gargoyles, a sundial and other motifs.

The municipality also describes two particularly well-restored bread ovens as visible from the roadside. One is in Les Patisseaux, on the former Route de Cornillé; the other is on Rue des Saulniers in La Bouvrie. The architectural heritage therefore includes not only the church but also examples located along different roads in the area.

The Chapelle Saint-Job was fully restored in 2022 and 2023 and reopened to the public on 20 March 2023. If you would like to visit the chapel, check the current access arrangements in advance.

Walking trails and rural routes

The Circuit des Diligences No. 23 covers 11.6 kilometres through the Louvigné-de-Bais area, of which 6.1 kilometres are on roads. This means that a little over half of the total distance is designated as a road section. The route also passes through bocage landscapes and showcases the municipality’s rich architectural heritage. Near the start and finish, a car park, a water point, toilets and a local food shop are listed. The availability of these facilities may change.

The Parc des merveilles offers a different way to enjoy exercise and leisure. The municipal website, dated 23 July 2026, lists a pump track, a zip line and the “Les Lauriers” walking and jogging trail. The access road is Route de Vergéal, where a car park is also listed. The park’s facilities may change.

For a route connecting different places, there is Vélo Promenade® No. 6: it links Louvigné-de-Bais and Domalain and passes through the rural surroundings between the two places. While the Circuit des Diligences runs through the municipal area, this route is specifically designed to connect Louvigné-de-Bais with Domalain.

Leisure and local life

The Louvigné-de-Bais QR code treasure hunt is free and open as a short walk to families, children accompanied by an adult, friends, residents and visitors. The activity was announced in July 2026.

Events also offer specific dates to plan around. In 2026, the Louvigné-de-Bais library took part in Partir en Livre as one of nine libraries in the Arléane network. The programme ran from 17 June to 19 July 2026; Partir en Livre is an annual early-summer programme. At the Tablées on 31 August 2025, there was a convivial picnic as well as board games and giant games in the afternoon. The third edition in 2026 was scheduled for Sunday 30 August, from 11:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.; the Tablées were announced as a convivial event to round off the summer.
