You can moor where the fancy takes you : Try Juigné, Igneres, Malicorne, Cheffes/Sarthe and Le Plessis Bourré, just so many places of interest that you will be able to explore.

Our advice :The Sarthe is a friendly river lined with numerous villages with few locks, many places of historic interest to visit, idéal for beginners.
