History

Entrammes owes its location to a major ford across the Mayenne and Jouanne rivers: the road connecting Le Mans to Rennes traditionally crossed the river here. Consequently, a substantial town covering approximately 55 hectares existed here already two thousand years ago, and was already settled during the first century BC.
