Saint-Georges-du-Bois (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ ʒɔʁʒ dy bwa] ⓘ) is a commune, located in the department of Sarthe in Pays de la Loire region in northwestern France.

A few kilometers away, the interchange Le Mans Sud on the highway A11 allows quick access to major cities in the west (Angers, Nantes, Tours or Rennes).

Two areas of exceptions along the Orne Champagne are alluvial deposits (sands, silts and peats) and between the Libroreau farm and the railroad, composed of Glauconite clay, used in iron ore, date back to the lower Cenomanian.

[10] Plans are to become more efficient with biological and chemical treatment of phosphorus, removal of nitrates in water output and a no bad smells from the sludge storage in sealed tanks.

[13] The second phase is in progress, starting October 2009, with the launch of a study to create an ecodistrict: energy producing homes, ecologically sound roads, and intensive recycling.

The construction of the school cafeteria, which opened on 13 October 2007, follows the concepts of HQE (Haute Qualité Environnementale (High Environmental Quality)) with a frame and wood cladding, solar panels for production of hot water, tanks for rainwater collection, and a choice of materials and energy used conforming with the logic of sustainable development.

Many railway projects were proposed that also affected the town, but none came to pass: Saint-Georges-du-Bois is served by Transports interurbain de la Sarthe (TIS).

Twenty are housing intended for homeowners (delivered in 2011), and nineteen are apartments located in 4 small groups (start of construction planned for in 2012).

A project farther in the future is the creation or modification of footpaths: elimination of the current portions of roads and creation of protected paths connecting different parts of the town, creating a secure way to access parc de la Rivière (River park), creating a green belt around the town (much of which already exists) and linking with Green Boulevard of Le Mans.

This coat of arms of Saint-Georges-du-Bois is still in use today, and was described by its author Jean-Claude Molinier, on request of the city council in October 1999: Blue with silver wood, the head of which is charged with a cross of Gules.

Research by Marie-Thérèse Morlet for her book Noms de personne sur le territoire de l'ancienne Gaule du VIe au XIIe siècle (Names of persons on the territory of ancient Gaul from the sixth to the twelfth century), Volume 3, "indicate the first written records of the existence of the town about 1131".

The judges of the Le Mans then decided that the poor and the sick of the parish would be fed at the expense of the city, and they enabled religious orders and the people of Saint-Georges-du-Bois to remove objects affected by the contagion.

The next day, a column of 1,500 men returned to Le Mans with the Knight Tercier, but the commander in chief, the Earl of Bourmont, who was tired, rested at the camp.

The end of the century saw an acceleration of roadworks with the construction of many trails, roads or highways to crisscross the town and facilitate access between farms and the village.

Indeed, in February, the city council agreed to the connections at the departmental telephone network; but it was not until September 1944 the phone system was installed at the town hall.

In the sad aftermath of the First World War, a memorial was erected in front of the church in May 1920, with dozens of deaths recorded for this small town of less than 500 inhabitants.

Then, during the study for the repair of roads and pavements, a security section was decided on 20 July 2009: creating a 30 km/h zone, changing priorities, an area of quiet operation of vehicles, and disabled access.

Saint-Georges-du-Bois was chosen by the Minister for the actions that the municipality has implemented to help the elderly or those having trouble with the Télévision numérique terrestre française (TNT).

[28] Following a national competition organized by the Association of Mayors of France and Dexia, on 16 June 1998, the town was awarded a trophy for quality of the renovation of its rectory.

On 20 September 2006, the ACO (Automobile Club of the West) presented the road safety trophy to the town for the accommodations made over CD 309: chicanes, speed bumps, pedestrian pathways and crosswalks[citation needed].

Parc des Hayes (ongoing since 2008) should reverse this trend (over 140 lots, rental houses, apartments) and restarting the upwardly mobile population.

Due to weak finances, the municipality leased space until 1862, when a grant from the Department of Public Instruction allowed the purchase of the school building.

In addition, an outreach office of ADAPEI (Association departmental assistance for handicapped children)[32] (Foyer des Cèdres), for people with mental disabilities, was opened in the town on 25 October 2005.

Installation seems to be fairly recent since at the back of it says: "E.Blossier – FECM – 1952" This cross is on the road to Pruillé-Chétif, at the intersection of rue des Fouillées and la Grande Locherie (47°58′58.34″N 0°05′47.82″E / 47.9828722°N 0.0966167°E / 47.9828722; 0.0966167).

Since then have added parking, plenty of benches, tables, trash cans, glass collectors and games to make the most of this space for resting and walking.

In the longer term (20–30 years), there are plans to build a park of thirty acres on the space between the two towns (separated by only 700 metres (2,300 ft) for sustainable development.

The current fishing records since the reopening to the public are 95 kilograms (209 lb) and 2.47 metres (8.1 ft) for catfish and 24 kilograms (53 lb) for carp.\ After nine years of consideration (since April 1947), six years after participating in the creation of the Syndicat pour l'alimentation en eau potable des communes de la région du Mans (Union for the supply of drinking water to municipalities in the region of Le Mans) in September 1950, the water tower was constructed in 1956 (47°58′28.67″N 0°06′05.26″E / 47.9746306°N 0.1014611°E / 47.9746306; 0.1014611).

Three suppliers currently operate this antenna: Information about the cell tower is found on the website of the ANFR (Agence nationale des fréquences) with the identifications number 731,062.

Only in the early nineteenth century, a pool was reserved (walled and gated with a door) to representatives of the hospice Savigné-l'Évêque,[47] owner of the adjoining land.

His main subjects are women, villages, but also memories of traveling around the world: Europe, Morocco, Russia, Thailand, China or recently in Brazil and Bolivia.
