La Bazouge-Du-Désert: Holiday apartments and holiday homes
Accommodation in La Bazouge-Du-Désert
La Bazouge-du-Désert is characterised by tangible evidence of its architectural and ecclesiastical history. The parish church of Saint-Martin was rebuilt in 1911; the construction work continued until September 1913. In the 1910s, the glassmaker Alleaume from Laval made its stained-glass windows.
Culture
The building at Malagra dates from 1716. Malagra is a former paper mill site and is considered the place where the Prince of Talmond, a leader of the Chouannerie, was arrested in 1793.
The statue “Saint moine au chien ou à la biche” is located in the Chapelle Saint-Clair in L’Hermitage, La Bazouge-du-Désert. The wooden, carved and polychrome-painted sculpture was listed as a protected object on 5 December 1980.
The chapel of Tertre Alix also leads into local history: it is recorded in the first land register of 1834 for the communes of La Bazouge-du-Désert and Louvigné-du-Désert and is built onto an centuries-old oak tree.
