Tips

Moutiers is one of the oldest villages in the Perche region, built around a monastery founded in the 6th century and destroyed by the Norman invasions. This is where the village's name comes from, since "Moutiers" means monastery in Old French.

On the slopes of the hill, called Mont Harou, stands the church, flanked by a few typical Perche houses that form the old town. To reach it, you'll have to navigate the steep, straight climb of Church Street or take a detour through small streets that soften the steepness of the climb.

The church square offers a beautiful view of the surrounding area. Don't forget to walk around the church to admire the gargoyles, which are quite exceptional for such a small church.

Restrooms and water are available right next door.
