Bonchamp-Lès-Laval combines clearly identified cultural sites with a wide range of leisure activities. The Chapelle de la Cassine and the Sainte-Blaise Church represent different cultural points of interest; Espace Loisirs de Galbé offers walking and cycling trails, green spaces and activities with equipment available to borrow. Les Angenoises adds an annual cultural program. When choosing where to go, it is therefore helpful to first decide what you are most interested in: architectural heritage, a specific cultural event or outdoor activity.

Cultural sites and program

The Chapelle de la Cassine was entered in the supplementary inventory of historic monuments by decree dated January 9, 1926. The present-day Sainte-Blaise Church was built in the Romanesque style. The two sites offer different points of interest: the chapel’s listing is associated with a specific date, while the church is notable for its architectural style. If you are interested in historic buildings, you can include these two distinct cultural points of interest in your choice of destination.

The Les Angenoises cultural center includes a media library, the Capucine childcare center, the Bonchamp branch of the Agglomeration Conservatory, and spaces for meetings, theater and visual arts. Its annual cultural program includes theater, music, choral singing, dance and performances for children. Individual events change, so check the dates if you want to include a particular offering in your stay.

The Océane event hall at Les Angenoises has 750 seats. As the seating arrangement may change, check the details for the specific event if the layout is important to your plans.
