Neuvy-en-Champagne is a small village located about fifteen kilometers northwest of Le Mans, not far from Conlie. Although not having enough information on its origin, it is on the axis connecting Alençon to Sablé-sur-Sarthe. Its Latin name corresponds to "New village". Its inhabitants are called Noviciens and Noviciennes.
