シラルのおすすめツーリングルート

Magnificent, a must-see.

An endless false flat. Remember to carry water because there's nothing to refuel.

Beautiful route

Very beautiful castle. The outside area is very interesting and a nice walk. Unfortunately I didn't see the inside of the castle. The bicycle parking area is behind the archway on the inside on the right.

Great building, the church organ is in silver and makes an impression. Beautiful play of light through the windows

The patronage of this church in Alencon, "Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption," refers to one of the many memorial days or feast days in honor of the Mother of God Mary. This dates back to the feast of her bodily assumption into heaven. The (Catholic) church celebrates this feast every year on August 15th. In Orthodox churches, the feast is called the "Dormition of the Virgin Mary." In rural areas with a predominantly Catholic population, it used to be customary for the population to collect bundles of herbs on this special day and to bless them in a festive service. In isolated cases, this old custom has survived to the present day.

The Joué-du-Bois manor was built at the end of the 15th century and surrounded by a moat and towers. Damaged during the Wars of Religion and the Second World War, it was restored and preserved as a historical monument. You can admire the architecture and gardens of the manor, as well as the surrounding village and countryside. The mansion is not open to the public, but you can still enjoy its exterior view from a distance.

The castle is one of the largest in Normandy. It has been a listed building since 1927. From the free car park, a gravel path leads first to a gatehouse, then to the square castle, which is as defensive as it is representative and stands next to the small castle garden and a pasture. Beyond the castle stretches the beech and oak forest of the Forêt d’Ecouves, which is part of the Normandy-Maine Regional Nature Park. Inside, the Château de Carrouges invites you to travel through three centuries. The dining room with its marble fireplace and the bishops’ room with its wood-paneled prayer chamber are particularly beautiful.
