Le May-sur-Èvre and the Èvre Maugeoise

Le May-sur-Èvre is a delegated commune of Sèvremoine (49122), in Maine-et-Loire. The commune owes its name to the Èvre river, which originates in the Mauges region and flows into the Loire at Ingrandes. This small bocage river, with its winding course through a landscape of meadows and hedgerows, is a symbol of the Mauges territory.

Bégrolles-en-Mauges and Le May-sur-Èvre form a group of delegated communes in the southern sector of Sèvremoine, a territory marked by agriculture, livestock farming, and a strong associative life. The bocage here is particularly well-preserved, with its sunken paths, pollarded trees, and wet meadows that host remarkable biodiversity.
