La Roë (French pronunciation: [la ʁo]) is a commune in the Mayenne department in north-western France.
History
The Bretonic ascetic preacher Robert of Arbrissel founded a community of canons regular in 1092 which was confirmed by Pope Urban II in Angers in February 1092. This would in time turn into the development of La Roë Abbey.
