This elegant bourgeois house is located in the Pays de Loire in the beautiful region of the Normandie-Maine Regional Nature Park, on the borders of the departments of Orne and Sarthe.
We are in Mayenne in the "Pays de Pail", a preserved tourist land where the well-named "Alpes Mancelles" are visible, a site renowned and appreciated for its listed natural setting and picturesque sites.
