The town centre of Laval, around the castle and the Mayenne. Google Maps.
The town centre of Laval sits on both banks of the Mayenne, linked by the Vieux-Pont. The right bank holds the medieval core, dominated by the castle of the counts of Laval and its tower, with the cathedral of la Trinité, the Grande Rue, the rue Renaise and the place Hardy-de-Lévaré. The left bank spreads out around the quai Paul-Boudet, the rue du Mans and the rue Victor-Boissel.
The castle has housed since 1967 the first museum of naive art in Europe, created in memory of le Douanier Rousseau, born in Laval in 1844. The jardin de la Perrine, near the porte Beucheresse, overlooks the valley from its rocky spur; the painter's grave is there, his remains brought back in 1947. The cathedral of la Trinité, begun around 1070, was enlarged several times, its western front dating from the sixteenth century.
On the market, the town centre concentrates most of the activity: about 112 apartment sales a year, close to a third of the town's total. The average stands at around 2 180 €/m², in line with the town figure, with a wide spread: a quarter of sales take place below 1 761 €/m² and a quarter above 2 520 €/m², depending on the condition, the floor and the bank of the river.
The town centre attracts first-time buyers, investors seeking rental yield and households who want to do everything on foot. Demand focuses on apartments in older buildings, from the medieval fabric of the right bank to the bourgeois blocks of the left bank, and on the town houses of the adjoining streets.
