Sceaux-sur- Huisne is a small village of aproximately 500 adults, it is situated on the route national N23 between La Ferte-Bernard and Le Mans. It is located on the banks of the Huisne river which runs into the river Sarthe to the south of Le Mans. An annual fishing competition takes place every August. The village dates back to Roman times and was a staging post and relaxation place; the remains of thermal baths are all that now remain.

The village has two restuarants, a primary school, a library, and a recently renovated Hotel de Ville. There is a 12 century church in early Gothic style.
A factory built in 1972 on the outskirts of the village by the Bahier family, is a major producer of rillettes ( a local pate) and is the main employer in the locality.
