• The shaft of this ordeal may be a pillar of independent Gaul, whose summit was crowned with a cross at the beginning of the Christian era. Indeed, as and of the Christianization of Gaul, Christians did not hesitate to raze the ancient temples and monuments when the were too strong, they were content to carve a cross or affix a cross.
• Rue Forest (D248) at the intersection of Route Fresnes.

• Prieuré de la Fontaine Gehard - or Geard - From the 11th:

• Today the state of ruin, it was one of the first monasteries of Maine capital of many other places of worship located in the forests of the barony of Mayenne. Fortunately it was preserved in its original place on the altar which was built a chapel designed to protect it. It is a curious monument: the stone table of the altar is supported by an angular mass in the middle. The whole is a rough block of granite, a rudimentary but working the proportions and the general lines of the Romanesque style are faithfully observed.

On January 17, 1871, the Virgin appears in a small town in the Mayenne, Pontmain, the borders of Normandy and Brittany, four children, whose testimony will be kept, and canonical process commonly known as LEDs Pontmain . Eugene Barbedette will then pastor at Peuton Châtillon-sur-Colmont where he died May 2, 1927 after having served for seventeen years his ministry. He is buried in the cemetery (right center of the monument). Another visionary, Francoise Richer, the priest will come to Eugene to take Barbedette Peuton to his presbytery, at first, then Châtillon-sur-Colmont where she spent the last fifteen years of his life.

• The covered walkways Gasnerie: The building is the remains of a megalithic burial side entry largely dismantled. Located near the farm of Gasnerie, the driveway is very close to the banks of the Colmont. We still see a couple of upright stones forming a path clearly visible remnants of a true dolmen which was formerly more extensive than it has today. Amount of fragments of stones that were probably used for its extension or its coverage in the past, are scattered around or lie within the walls that still has five meters long and 1 m wide.

• Devil's Stoup: Near the farm of the "quarrel" in a grove at the end of the field of Stoup, a stone in granite, polished by its strange shape reminiscent of a bellows, is also remarkable. Brought about a meter above the ground, its width is 2 m at the base and 1, 5 m at the top. On the top, we see a small pool oval, narrowing like a funnel at the bottom and can hold ten to twelve liters. This pond dug by human hands was probably used to the customs of the Druids or their purifications, or to wash the knife after the sacred bloody human sacrifices.
