N°26 : Sur le chemin de César

Situated on the ancient Le Mans-Orléans road, known locally as the "chemin de César", the village of Melleray developed in the Middle Ages with the creation of a priory dependent on the abbey of Saint-Calais. Attested in 1070, it was sold during the French Revolution. Its buildings were attached to Saint-Pierre church, the only remaining vestige. Part of the barony of Montmirail, the parish of Melleray was part of the Perche Gouët and the diocese of Blois until 1789.
