Until the second half of the nineteenth century, the river Mayenne was the main axis of movement of people and goods in Maine netherlands. To Improve the traffic, marinières gates were built in the first half of the sixteenth century between Chateau-Gontier and Laval. Exports by the river of local products has contributed to the prosperity of the Maine netherlands between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
The need for economic development has further imposed improvement of navigation conditions. On the section between Laval and Mayenne, twenty dams equipped with locks and sluice with parallel bypass channel (in Montgiroux) were built.
Between Laval and Château-Gontier, twelve new sluice dams were substituted for the twenty-one marinières doors from 1853 and 1878. At the same time, south of Chateau-Gontier and to the boundary of Maine-et-Loire, three locks and a channel (near the town of Ménil) replaced six marinières doors between 1860 and 1864.
These buildings were part of a larger project to connect the Loire to the Channel by the valleys of the Mayenne, Orne or Vilaine rivers.
Since the 1970s, Mayenne opened to boating
