[[Template:Indication Géographique ProtégéeFr|IGP]] Volailles du Maine is produced in a large area in the northwestern part of France, centred around the city of Le Mans, a smaller one located east of Orléans and a much smaller one just south of the capital city of Paris. 

[[Template:Indication Géographique ProtégéeFr|IGP]] Volailles du Maine covers [[meat]] from [[chicken]] and [[turkey]]. The birds have to be raised in the open air at a density of 11 [[chickens]] or 6 [[turkeys]] per square metre. The diet of the [[chickens]] has to consist of at least 75% [[cereals]]. The [[turkeys]] should be born before the end of June and fed on [[cereals]] and grass until Christmas.

The final product is available in the following forms: whole, gutted, cut in parts, fresh, frozen, raw and processed [[meat]].

[[Poultry]] farming has been practised in this area since the Middle Ages. In the 15th and 16th centuries the production of [[buckwheat]] encouraged the production of high-quality [[poultry]].
