The Top 8 Attractions around Ormes

45km of calm and safety on a path on a false flat uphill not too demanding the first 10 km. The ground surface is of good quality on the majority of the route even if at the end it looks more like gravel with dead leaves and branches on the ground. Very beautiful portion to connect Paris to Deauville

In the wood of Saint-Michel, the greenway from Évreux to the Bec valley joins the GR 26 to offer a lovely asphalted section in the middle of the trees.

Built at the end of the 11th century by Roger III de Tosny, Lord of Conches. The thickness of the walls is 2.60m. The walls and window embrasures were coated with a layer of mortar mixed with lime and fine sand in order to give a more noble appearance to this flint construction. On the ground floor: it was the food reserve, there were no windows. 1st floor: A central well was used to supply the Château with drinking water. It was emptied in 1849. A fireplace was in each room. It was around 1417, when Conches was in English hands, that the defensive power of the keep was increased under the orders of Captal de Buch. He built an additional tower with the particularity of starting on a square base. Main seats of the castle: 1093: War of the Beautiful Ladies (fight between the Lords of Tosny and the Lords of Breteuil, Beaumont and Evreux) 1199: Philippe Auguste is king of France and he makes the domain of Conches available to his cousin Robert de Courtenay in 1202. 1364: first English occupation. 1371: 100 years war, Bertrand Dugesclin, captain of King Charles V, seizes Conches. 1420: Conquest of Normandy by the English, Henry V, King of England seizes Conches.

This dungeon is the last vestige of the fortress of Conches-en-Ouche which was the scene of many battles. Du Guesclin notably laid siege to it in 1371 and took the fortress back from the English. The town center of Goms is also remarkable for its church and its old Norman houses.

It was Mr Henri Thommeret, an Elbeuvien entrepreneur, who in the early 1930s had all the buildings in Val Gallerand built in the Municipality of Grosley sur Risle. This beautiful architectural ensemble, with an old and unusual look, was made using materials saved from several demolition sites.
