Things to see and do Laval

Located just a few hundred metres from the viaduct in the direction of Change, the water plant is a building that deserves a detour. It is true that his inauguration on 29 May 1914 led to the arrival of a President of the Republic in Laval a few days before the outbreak of the first world war. That day, Lorrain Raymond Poincaré swallows a glass of ozonée water that he finds excellent. " He would have had bad luck in finding a poor water that he dégustait in the eye, writes a journalist at the time. If he became taxpayers, he would probably change his mind. " At present, this plant produces nearly 5 500 000 m ³ of water per year that it distributes to 83 000 people. Each year, the city of Laval sells about 1 200 000 m ³ of water to the 16 members of the C.R.U.E.L. (rural municipality users of water from Laval). The pumping capacity of the water plant is approximately 1 600 m ³/h with two pumps of 800 m ³/h each. The daily peak rate consumed on the city of Laval reaches 22 200 m ³/d.

In order to know the riches of the wood of Huisserie, a structure exists, the C.I.N. (centre for Initiation to nature), which depends on Laval City and employs two passionnés, Sophie Bringard and Jean-Luc Boulay, who would listen for hours to speak of foxes and passereaux, chênes and birch, weasel and mouse, and mouse and mouse. (among other occupants of "their" wood). Throughout the year, these nature lovers offer entertainment (walks, exhibitions…) to the general public and mainly children, who often arrive here via their school, their district house and, during the holidays, their leisure centre.
