Mayenne river
The Mayenne runs through the middle of town. Its gentle bends and many bridges give the map a clear central axis and a natural divide between the old and newer quarters.

The map
About this Laval map poster
Laval is the capital of the Mayenne department in western France, built on both banks of the river Mayenne. The historic centre rises on the western slope, where the Vieux-Château, a medieval castle with a prominent keep, overlooks the water. The painter Henri Rousseau, known as Le Douanier, was born here in 1844.
The river runs roughly north to south through town and is crossed by a series of bridges, including the medieval Pont Vieux. Towpaths and locks follow the river upstream and downstream, a legacy of the time it was canalised for boats. The railway crosses the valley on a tall viaduct, a strong straight line in an otherwise curving landscape.
On a Laval map poster the old town is a tight knot of irregular streets near the castle, while later districts spread out in wider, straighter blocks on both banks. The river splits the composition cleanly, the bridges stitch it back together, and parks and gardens on the slopes add softer patches.

Old town and castle
Around the Vieux-Château, narrow medieval lanes follow the slope down to the river. They form the densest and most irregular street pattern on the map.
Railway viaduct
The viaduct carries the railway high across the valley. Its straight line contrasts with the curving river and the winding streets below it.

Why Laval
A map that means something
Laval is a town of students, families and travellers on their way to Brittany, and its map is easy to recognise: a river, a castle hill and a long viaduct. For anyone with ties to the town, the print holds those landmarks together in one calm frame.
Add a name, a year or a street to the title, subtitle and coordinates line. Choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Paper gives the medieval core a warm, archival feel, while Classic keeps the river sharp and graphic at any of the six print sizes.
