a small flea market but with lots of items

A small village to absolutely discover

The beautiful, well-kept, and neat facade of this building might prompt a passing pedestrian to snap a spontaneous photo. Others head to this address specifically to visit the house. However, it's not an interest in architecture that draws them here, but rather in music. The famous composer Maurice (actually Joseph-Maurice) Ravel (born 1875, died 1937) lived here. The work that most people spontaneously associate with his name is certainly "Bolero." He wrote the piece in 1928 for the Russian dancer Ida Rubenstein (1885 to 1960). Ravel himself is said to have said: "I have only created one masterpiece, and that is the Bolero; unfortunately, it contains no music."

You are on the enclosed path of Fond de l'Ormelet, bordered by meadows sloping regularly towards Haut-Manoir and the severe wooded slope, the western end of the Côteaux forest.

This short path will offer you a steep slope with a 40m difference in altitude over a short distance between the entrance to the hamlet of Les Mazis and the bottom of Ormelet.

The path of La Planche will offer you a height difference of 60m between La Planche and the Fond de l'Ormelet. It will offer you beautiful views of the valley, the Garenne wood and the Mazis hill.

This small path winds its way through the fields and connects Le Richebourg, which bears the name of the old castle demolished in 1826, to the centre of La Feuillie.
