Izé (French pronunciation: [ize] ) is a commune in the arrondissement of Mayenne, Mayenne department, Pays de la Loire, France.[3]
The Izé hall and mairie[4] border a large fishing pond stocked with salmon and trout.[5] The village has its own bakery [6] and bar-cafe,[7] which also sells basic food supplies.
The Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul [fr] 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.[8]
In 2018 the French national statistics bureau, Insee, reported that the population of Izé was 457,[9] down from 2,025 in 1836.[10]
The novelist and critic Frédéric Lefèvre [fr] (1889–1949) was born in Ize on the 7 May 1889.[11] A plaque marks his house today.
