Because nature puts on a show
Here, nature reigns supreme: green spaces that beckon you to roll around in the grass, hiking trails that are perfect for getting lost without a GPS, and the River du Hâvre that unveils postcard-worthy panoramas while tempting you to dive in or paddle! And if you're looking for a place to take a dip or simply relax, head for the Chêne lake: supervised swimming in July and August for those who like it cooler, and a guaranteed festive atmosphere at the Le Gramophone dance hall, which opens in fine weather, perfect for sipping a drink to music with your feet almost in the water! If you're not just a nature lover, but also a culture buff, then the monumental sculpture trail is just what you're looking for. At Oudon, nature is saying "come and have fun", while offering you the very best to recharge your batteries.
Because families feel good here.
Here, everything has been designed to ensure a living environment as pleasant as a hot chocolate on a winter's day.

And for youngsters in search of adventure, the leisure centre and sports facilities, such as football pitches and tennis courts, are there to keep their competitive spirit alive. The municipal library is a veritable treasure chest, with its superb stained-glass windows and its array of cultural resources and activities to brighten up the year.
Because life here can be enjoyed like a home-cooked meal.
Local shops - bakery, butcher, Carrefour Express - and health services, such as the pharmacy, medical professionals and the EHPAD, ensure daily comfort for all residents.
