The small town of Fresnay sur Sarthe, which lies, as its name suggests, on the River Sarthe in the department of the same name, is a mediaeval town of such considerable charm that it has been designated an official "small city of character" in the French guide books. Its lovely location, on the edge of the Alpes Mancelles area of natural beauty and along the side of the river, together with its mediaeval character have made this small town one of the reputed gems of the Sarthe.
The town is pretty as a picture postcard, and a day spent pottering along the ancient streets and the banks of the tranquil River Sarthe is always a day well spent. Fresnay sur Sarthe has various sights and features of interest, with the colombage houses displaying their external timbers in typical mediaeval fashion, narrow twisting streets, a 12th century church and the crowning glory of the beautiful castle.
The Saturday market (8am-1pm) is a pleasure to visit, colourful and oh so French, while the town also has a good selection of small shops and restaurants to provide the necessities of life and also the pleasures.
