Car Rental at 'Laval - Train Station'

The old Eglise des Cordeliers draws the attention of all connoisseurs of ancient architecture. It looks quite modest outwardly, while a chic decoration in the style of past years is hidden inside. It was possible to preserve its artistically decorated vaulted ceiling and iconostasis, which was set up here immediately after the completion of construction. The church is quite small, so not all tourists are aware of its existence.
The Chapelle de Pritz is notable for the fact that it has never undergone any major reconstruction. Even now it resembles a typical medieval church with roughly finished stone walls. The main treasure of the cathedral is the religious relics it keeps inside. Here one can see beautiful old icons, as well as wonderful sculptures created by eminent craftsmen.

An important historical attraction of the city is the old cemetery Cimetière Vaufleury. Many prominent political and public figures were buried on its territory. Here are the tombs of former rulers of the city, famous artists, and military leaders. The historic cemetery is also of great architectural value, now it is a popular sightseeing object.

In the vicinity of Laval, there are several important archaeological areas available for excursions. The most interesting one is the Thermes Gallo-Romains located just five kilometers from the city. In this area, researchers have discovered the ruins of Gallo-Roman buildings, once a large thermal complex. Over the years, researchers have managed to fully restore the ancient structures so now contemporaries can get an idea of how the complex looked more than 1,500 years ago. The historical complex has a small museum containing the most interesting archaeological finds.
