Geography:

Briosne-lès-Sables is a commune of the Sarthe belonging to the Community of Communes Maine 301.

Originally there were two villages, and Briosne Sands. The two municipalities merged in 1965.

The name comes from the Greek Briosne "embryo" which means "foam", the soil would have given his name to Sands.

The path Mansais present on the territory of Briosne suggests that the origin of the Gallo-Roman village.

SIGHTSEEING

The old church of Briosne and the Chapel of St. Anne: Destroyed during the revolution, the church of Briosne was replaced by the cemetery chapel, the Chapel of St. Anne. Surrounded by a cemetery, the chapel is home to many remarkable statues of wood and earthenware from the 17th and 18th centuries. The building is tiled with a small steeple topped with slate.

The Church of Sand: Surrounded by a cemetery, the building is visible from afar thanks to its magnificent onion dome. In this lovely church, there are stained glass windows, a tombstone ranked the 16th century and a crypt.

The half-timbered houses: Once widespread in the Perche region, they are now replaced by stone buildings. However, we still find the presence of half-timbered outbuildings on farms (barns ...).
