Sainte-Suzanne Castle
The first time I saw the castle of Sainte-Suzanne, evening came and I must admit that the color of the sky made me fall in love with this beautiful medieval city. Beyond its cobbled streets, Sainte-Suzanne has a fabulous castle full of history and fantasy. Styled in transition between classical and Renaissance art, this medieval fortress is a magnificent treasure, a cultural and natural heritage in one of the most beautiful landscapes in Pays de la Loire. The naked form of the facade and ruins of this fortress towers over a small hut that goes down to the field. The castle of Sainte-Suzanne is perfectly integrated into the rural landscape of the area.
Its facade is one of the most characteristic of all the Mayenne. It is wonderful to see it covered in snow. Inside the castle and on the esplanade of the courtyard, numerous recreational activities are organized such as the traditional fair and exhibitions such as "The Curse of the Wolf", which animate the life of the city.
