Things to Do

Situated in the stunning Mayenne countryside, on the borders Normandy and Brittany, Marolles is the ideal location to enjoy a relaxing fishing holiday as well as explore the beautiful area of North West France. A short drive will bring you to our local town of Ernee. Here you will find a tabac, (the french equivalent of a newsagent), alongside bars serving a selection of draught beers, wine and tobacco. Two boulangeries will undoubtedly tempt you with the most amazing croissants, pastries and cakes. These, alongside a supermarket and pharmacy, ensure we have the majority of bases covered. The town of Fougeres is situated a little further away and is home to a larger Hypermarket, many beautiful restaurants, bars and shops.

Plenty of local activities are yours to enjoy on those ‘family days out’ or if you just want a break from fishing. Here, we have provided a short list of places to shop, eat out or just spend a day. Our local towns have much to offer.
