La Roë (in French pronounced as /la ʁo/) is a commune in the Mayenne department in north-western France.
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.[2] This would in time turn into the development of La Roë abbey.
