Family stays in Laval: space, location, and things to do
Laval, the capital of the Mayenne department in Pays de la Loire, is a manageable city for families travelling by car or train. The medieval old town along the Mayenne river, the Musée du Vieux-Château, the science-themed Musée Henri-Rousseau, and the green banks of the river give children and parents alike plenty to explore without the crowds of a large city. Accommodation ranges from intimate chambres d'hôtes set in rural surroundings a few kilometres out of the centre to standard hotel chains placed directly beside the train station, so families can choose the setting that suits their pace.
For families who value outdoor space and a quieter atmosphere, the guesthouses listed here sit between 6 km and 12 km from the city, often with gardens or countryside nearby. Families who prefer walkable access to restaurants, the station, and the old town will find rated three-star hotels in the Gare and Crossardière districts that combine convenience with consistent service. Rates across all options reviewed here range from 72 EUR to 90 EUR per night, making a multi-night stay financially realistic for most families.
