In the heart of Perche, Bellême, a medieval village, is full of charm. Its location, on a hill, and its proximity to the forest that bears its name, make it a village integrated into the landscape. This of course reinforces its fine reputation.

Among all the villages in the region, Bellême is undoubtedly one of the most charming. No wonder it was the capital of the ancient county of Perche. Wandering through the medieval atmosphere of its streets is a delight.

Former capital of Perche built on a spur, Bellême is a medieval city of character. Passing under the 15th century porch you can stroll along rue Ville Close with its colorful facades and its 17th, 18th and 19th century mansions. At the top of the town, remains of the castle walls are still visible. From the Place de l'Europe (former castle square), you will also have a beautiful view of the flat tiled roofs and the Saint-Sauveur church.
