Located in the Parc naturel régional Normandie-Maine, a protected area of forest, hedgerows and countryside on the Normandy and Pays De La Loire borders, Parc Mayenne is easily accessible from the ports of Northern France. With Caen only a 1.5 hour drive away it is ideally situated for both relaxing weekend getaways and longer holidays.
Open all year, Parc Mayenne is the perfect location for your French holiday home. Get involved in Parc Life at the Kingfisher bar, watch the varied wildlife in and around the Parc, spend some time at our fishing lake, raise your heart rate in our gym or simply relax in the peace and tranquillity of the unspoilt French countryside. The time spent at your holiday home is whatever you want it to be.
Parc Mayenne is also ideally located as a base to explore the beauty France has to offer. You can discover the historic and beautiful local area like the rose gardens in Lassay-les-Chateaux, Bagnoles d l’Orne’s famous casino and Domfront’s calvados distillery or venture further afield in the region to one of many historical towns and picturesque villages.
Days can be spent relaxing by the pool or on your terrace, walking, fishing in the River Mayenne, cycling or watching the varied wildlife such as red squirrels and deer. Parc Mayenne also boasts a wide variety of rare birds including Hoopoe, honey buzzards, buzzards, snow buntings, green woodpeckers, and kingfishers.
Social evenings in the bar are a great way to meet other homeowners and make some new friends. Many homeowners also attend some of the local ‘fetes’ and social events to involve themselves in the local French community and get the true French experience.
We have been caravan tourists in France for many years and always looked enviously at those who could afford to buy homes there. In 2017 our daughter found details about Parc Mayenne…this was something we had never considered and always felt such places would be lines of closely spaced mobile homes with a club at the centre. After a few conversations we decided to at least enquire and very soon found ourselves making a site visit in September. We were delighted to find Parc Mayenne an oasis that appealed to our desire for peace and tranquility.
Simon and Clare showed and explained the comings and goings of the Parc and we left with a definite choice and subsequently made the home our own. This is our third season and we only have praise for the Parc, the environment, the facilities and the people whose company we have enjoyed. This has been nicely encouraged by Clare and Simon and their willingness to assist whilst at the same time encouraging us to maximise this beautiful and somewhat unknown area of Southern Normandy/Northern Loire.
We purchased our lovely Riverview Par home 6 years ago and have not for a minute regretted it. The short version is that we had never planned or intended to invest in a second home, but then visited friends who had recently purchased their own Parc home here. We instantly fell in love with the place and were lucky that our home was for sale. We have lived here during all the different seasons and the setting, the views and the general area have never disappointed us. The Parc itself is spacious, rural and idyllic with the Mayenne river running through with two good fishing ponds. There is an abundance of nature to see and many local footpaths to explore.
It's also great location to discover local surroundings, pretty flower villages, historic towns, chateaux and of course many restaurants/cafés not too far away. If you want to travel further afield then it's an ideal location for that 100. Clare and Simon, the Parc Management, are great, extremely accommodating and helpful. We have made many new friends with others here and there is a really pleasant community feel. We didn't come for nightly entertainment or organised activities, but the occasional communal get together / BBQ / cheese and wine night / bar night is fun and optional should you wish to participate.
I could write plenty more in this testimonial, but the swimming pool is calling me and I wish to appreciate its warm water, the tranquil ambience and my relaxing exercise (not thinking of cheese and wine of course) before enjoying our BBQ dinner tonight, watching the sunset over the trees from our decking and waiting for the myriad of stars to
3 years ago we were very fortunate to stumble upon a property for sale at Parc Mayenne. It certainly has lived up to all of our expectations and more. The setting for these homes are stunning, with the river Mayenne running through the parc. Also meadow land, fishing lake, swimming pool and bar. This is an ideal place to have the opportunity to meet other home owners. Because of where the parc is situated, you can relax or be as busy as you wish. With beautiful villages nearby to explore and much more.
The parc is managed by Clare and Simon, who maintain the parc brilliantly. Nothing ever seems to be to much trouble for them. You also have peace of mind that in your absence your home is safe and secure. For us it is our peace haven. We feel very privileged that we have had the chance to be part of the Parc Mayenne community. We look forward to spending many more happy years there.
On Monday 20th July we were introduced to the lovely Clare and her very capable husband Simon.
It was a sort of pit stop trip to select our plot for when our new mobile home is delivered in due course. Whilst sitting at home in Jersey, we envisaged the kind of place we would like to choose. Lo and behold on our arrival we're taken to a plot that Clare and Simon thought we'd love, and we did! It was more than we'd imagined with a picturesque view looking down to the river where the only signs of life is mostly the wild kind (thoseon four legs).
After pinching myself at the whole prospect of owning our country seat in our favourite area of France I'm going home to Jersey chomping at the bit until we can move in and enjoy our little piece of paradise. Thank you Clare and Simon for all you'redoing for us.
We have always loved coming to France and often thought about buying a holiday home there.
When we visited Parc Mayenne and saw the beautiful surroundings, experienced the peace and serenity, we knew that this was the place for us.
Clare and Simon have made us so welcome and been so supportive as we settled in, and we have made so many good friends here that we regard Parc Mayenne as the perfect place to be - we now regard it as our second home.
Ideal residential park home site, now in my 5th year here. Lovely area in rural France just south of Normandy. The site is ideal for those who want a quiet getaway in northern France. The site managers, Clare and Simon, are very friendly and helpful.
There is lots to do in the area, and it is an ideal location for visiting the rest of France. About 2 hours from Caen, it is easily accessible from the UK. If you are looking for an affordable second home in France this is well worth considering.
We have been at Parc Mayenne for 3 years. Our little paradise in the middle of the French countryside.
Unbelievably beautiful and very tranquil, set in a valley with a river running through the Parc. Good facilities and management. We were very fortunate to find this 'gem'.
After spending years talking about buying a property in France we decided to do something about it and started our search online with Rightmove/France. During the search we saw a mobile home on Parc Mayenne and just took a look at it, it was the best thing we have done in a long time. The parc is the perfect location, peaceful, quiet, mobile homes not too close together, well run and the buying process is so simple.
In September 2018 we booked a couple of days in Bagnoles, went to view some mobile homes and that was the end of our search. We take our labrador who loves it too, he swims in the river Mayenne at the bottom of the parc and loves the outdoor living. We visit many pretty villages, go for lovely walks in the countryside and woods nearby. Most weekends we visit brocantes which are great fun and full of bargains, perfect for decorating our mobile home and garden. On the parc itself we use the pool which is superb on hot days and Friday night at the bar is always a very enjoyable night out with a very short walk back home so no worries about who needs to drive.
Just walking around the grounds we often meet other mobile home owners and stop to have a chat. We have found that everyone loves it as much as we do and are keen to discuss where they have visited and I hear where we have been too. The managers, Clare and Simon, are very approachable if you need any information or advice. They keep everyone updated with what is happening on the parc and help out with anything you may need. All in all we feel very lucky to have found Parc Mayenne and would recommend it to anyone.
After ten years of searching for our dream property in France, we happened upon Parc Mayenne. As we were having a week double checking on the properties in Mayenne, we thought we would just check out the park, we made an appointment with Steve, and met Clare and Simon the following week. After several visits all lasting many hours enjoying the peaceful and beautiful surroundings, checking out the lakes and walking around visiting the local villages between the snow showers and beautiful spring sunshine, we came to realise that Parc Mayenne was exactly what we had been looking for all these years.
So in the first week of June we became the owners of a lovely home on Parc Mayenne. Every step and decision was made easy with nothing ever being to much trouble for Clare and Simon. We have settled in, finished our first season and cannot wait to get back again as soon as possible, to our new home and all our new friends.
