Maulévrier

Maulévrier is a town in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Pays de la Loire regions near Cholet. The Moine River runs through the area, creating a landscape dotted with water features.

A fortress was built here before 1027 by Foulque Nerra, Count of Anjou, marking the start of medieval settlement. This early stronghold became the foundation for the place that developed over the centuries.

The name Maulévrier comes from an old term meaning a place where hares were kept in the Middle Ages. This heritage lives on in how people speak about the land and its past.

The town has two primary schools and a college for education. You will also find shops and services spread throughout to meet daily needs.

A large Japanese garden was created between 1902 and 1910 and stands as one of the most remarkable of its kind in the Western world. This park received official recognition in 2004 and remains a compelling destination for visitors.
