Izé (French pronunciation: ​[ize]) is a commune in the arrondissement of Mayenne, Mayenne department, Pays de la Loire, France.[2]

The Izé hall and mairie[3] border a large fishing pond stocked with salmon and trout.[4] The village has its own bakery [5] and bar-cafe,[6] which also sells basic food supplies.

The [[Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, Izé|Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul}} 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.[7]

In 2018 the French national statistics bureau, Insee, reported that the population of Izé was 457,[8] down from 2,025 in 1836.[9]

The novelist and critic Frédéric Lefèvre (1889–1949) was born in Ize on the 7 May 1889.[10] A plaque marks his house today.
