A fisherman's paradiseMayenne, a welcoming land for fishermen
The people of Mayenne are fishermen at heart, and what's more, they welcome anglers from elsewhere as friends! There are no secret fishing spots here, and there's a real sense of conviviality, even solidarity, along the waterways and around the ponds. Under the aegis of the departmental fishing and fish farming federation, numerous local fishing associations ensure that the many rivers and lakes in the region are of the highest quality, and maintain this friendly atmosphere.
