Izé is a commune in the township of Bais, Mayenne department, Pays de la Loire, France.[2]
The Izé hall and mairie[3] border a large fishing pond stocked with salmon and trout.[4] The village has its own bakery [5] and bar-cafe,[6] which also sells basic food supplies.
The Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul was heavily rebuilt following the tornado of 1978. Renovation works include new stained glass windows incorporating the faces of contemporary political figures, notably François Mitterrand [7]
In 2015 the French national statistics bureau, Insee, reported that the population of Izé was 473, down from over 2,000 in the early 19th century [8]
The novelist and critic Frédéric Lefèvre (1889-1949) was born in Ize on the 7 May 1889.[9] A plaque marks his house today.
