The Vaige forms part of the commune's north-western border, flows southwards through the middle of the commune, then flows into the Sarthe River in the town of Sablé-sur-Sarthe.
French prime minister François Fillon was mayor of Sablé from 1983 to 2001, which therefore has a TGV station on the line from Paris-Nantes despite a relatively small population.
The town is a hub for river cruising along the Sarthe. There is a festival of baroque music every August. [4]
From 2010 to 2015, the motor car firm Venturi had a factory at Sablé-sur-Sarthe. [5] [6] [7]
