Description:
Sainte Suzanne, Mayenne, close to the border with Sarthe, has been selected to join the select band of villages rated as the most beautiful in France - 'Les plus beaux villages de France'. Sainte Suzanne becomes one of only 154 villages in France which have achieved that status.The medieval ramparts of Sainte Suzanne resisted the attentions of William the Conqueror. Nowadays the gates are open and welcoming to a steady stream of visitors. Narrow winding streets, containing a variety of shops, lead towards the tower dating from the X-XI centuries and which formed part of the original fortress. Exceptional views can be had from the top of the tower on a clear day and it is easy to see why the X century builders chose the spot for their fortress. Adjacent to the tower restoration works have recently been completed on the XVII century château built into the ramparts.
