The arrow is a town in the department of Sarthe, in the Great West of the France. Established on the banks of the Loir, it has a little over 15,000 inhabitants. It owes its influence to the presence of the National Military Prytaneum, founded in 1808 by Napoleon I on the basis of the former Royal College Henri-IV. The historical monuments that it preserves contribute to the classification of the Pays Vallée du Loir as a “Country of art and history”.
