Each of these crosses, which the traveler often encounters in the fields or, as here under the name "Calvaire du Roc," at the top of the rock, is a sign commemorating the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. "Here on earth, His memory exists, but in the Kingdom of Heaven is His presence: this presence is the joy of those who have already attained salvation. Remembrance is our comfort, we who are still wanderers, traveling towards our homeland." (Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, c. 1090–1153)

Nice walk, especially in dry weather. The last 200 meters have to go through water. But definitely do it in the summer.

If you are looking for a place that combines nature, history and legend, you can visit the mound of Sainte Anne and the legend of the Dragon, a site perched near Domfront-en-Poiraie in Normandy. According to legend, around the year 1052, a fierce dragon lived in a pit called The Dragon Pit and terrorized the region. The lord of Domfront, William II Talvas, had to sacrifice a young victim every day to appease the beast. One day, his daughter Mabile was chosen by fate and was about to be devoured by the dragon. But a mysterious old man appeared on a rock overlooking the pit and made the sign of the cross, ordering the monster to disappear forever. The dragon flew away and fell into another pit called La Fosse-Tertière, where it died. You can discover this fascinating history by following a loop trail that connects Tertre Sainte-Anne and Tertre Chapon, where you will find information panels. You can also enjoy panoramic views of the countryside and the medieval town of Domfront from the top of the hill.

70 meters deep, this gorge has many attractions. On the heights, you will find a superb panorama as well as a Calvary marking the highest point of the ridge. In the rocks, two legendary caves symbolize the chambers of King Arthur and Queen Guinevere, hence the name Arthur Pit (Arthur). Below, the river having dug the gorge, the Sonce, is transformed into a waterfall. An artificial pond that was created to regulate the flow is also nearby. Not to mention the inn on the site, ideal for regaining strength after strolling around the site: https://aubergedelafossearthour.com/

This church, which owes its name to the proximity of a Varenne ford, was built at the end of the 11th century. Remodeled several times since, it remains a remarkable building that is worth the detour.

Among the many legends that animate the Mortainais, we share one with our Breton neighbors: those of the Arthurian myth. Because it is here, at the Fosse Arthour, that King Arthur and his wife Guinevere would rest. Two places in particular, on either side of the Sonce river, tell us this story. According to Arthurian legend, and as the Normans tell it, Arthur and Guinevere decided to retire to the region, to live their last days, each living on his own, in caves still visible today. However, Arthur was not allowed to visit the queen other than at sunset. But Arthur could not bring himself to do so and died when he fell into the ravine, precipitated by the genius of the Pit. Guinevere's Room is across the river. Unlike Arthur's, the cave is still visible. Legend has it that after Arthur fell over the precipice, Guinevere threw herself into it.

Around the year 1052 near this place called "The Dragon Pit" legend reports that at the time of William II Talvas, lord of Domfront and successor to Robert de Bellême, there lived a ferocious dragon who sowed terror in the region. Teutates, an old soothsayer living as a hermit in the Andaines Forest, not far from it, suggested to the lord to bring each day a young victim aged ten to twenty years old, chosen at random from among the population, in order to appease the anger of the dragon. Only one day, chance fell upon William II Talvas since his daughter, Mabile, was chosen by fate. The unfortunate child therefore had to prepare for the sacrifice. Fortunately, this one had the protection of the heavens. At the very moment when the procession reached the summit of Tertre Sainte Anne, the appearance of a tall old man on the rock dominating the “Dragon Pit” interrupted the sad ascent. The old man, using prayers, made a large sign of the cross demanding the monster to disappear forever. The dragon, roaring, emerged from the Pit and launched itself into the air. However, his heavy wings could no longer support him, so he fell into the Varenne, where his fall dug a bottomless chasm called "La Fosse-Tertière".

The Romanesque Notre-Dame-sur-l'Eau church was built around 1020 by Guillaume de Bellême. It owes its name to its location on the edge of a ford of the Varenne. She sees peasants, nobles and high dignitaries passing by on the road between Paris and Mont Saint-Michel. William the Conqueror, Henry II, who often stays at Domfront, stop there. Saint Louis made prayers and offerings there. Even Louis XI, renowned for his avarice, showed generosity there. Alas, the sackings and looting followed one another during the Hundred Years War. It came close to demolition in 1826 and, ten years later, a poorly enlightened engineer had four spans of the nave (more than thirty meters with the aisles) knocked down in order to lead the road to Mortain. It was not until 1889 that the Beaux-Arts finally classified the building. The Second World War did not spare it: an aerial bombardment in 1944 reached the nave and the bell tower, without completely destroying the church. Source: https://www.ville-domfront.fr
