Laval, Administrative center in Mayenne, France
Located on the banks of the Mayenne River, Laval occupies 134 square kilometers at an elevation of 70 meters in western France.
The city emerged in the 11th century around a strategic castle on a rocky promontory, becoming an essential textile production center by the 14th century.
Laval received the designation of City of Art and History in 1993, reflecting its rich architectural heritage including medieval timber-framed houses.
The central train station connects Paris to Brest, while the local bus network serves the 34 communes of Laval Agglomération with regular services.
The Musée d'Art Naïf houses collections dedicated to Henri Rousseau, a renowned painter born in this city during the 19th century.
