Nature
The Sentier du Parc de la Haye follows the Brionneau River to the Étang Saint-Nicolas, a former slate quarry. Avrillé offers more than 170 hectares of green spaces accessible to everyone. In the Parc des Poumons Verts, a pond and large trees form part of the landscape.
Paths and landscape
The Avrillé loop of the Sentier Le Fléchet is approximately 3 kilometres long. The Sentier Le Fléchet itself is a short walking trail on flat terrain with no difficult sections.
The Voie verte runs along a former railway line through Avrillé between Montreuil-Juigné and Angers. It is a 9.2-kilometre circular route intended to connect Angers and Montreuil-Juigné in the long term.
Culture and history
The Château de la Perrière is partly registered as a Monument historique and partly classified as a Monument historique. It was built in two phases in the 17th century and comprises three U-shaped building wings as well as a chapel at the southwestern end.
The priory founded in 1180 in the Bois de la Haye belonged to the Order of Grandmont at that time. The surviving 12th-century church features wall and vault paintings from the 14th century. A chapel built in 1852 commemorates the Catholics shot at this site during the Revolution; almost 2,000 people lie in twelve large mass graves.
