A truly magnificent landscape

It's beautiful and well-maintained. The driveway to the west rear gate reminds me of the book "The Great Maulne."

very varied and pleasant hike

Couterne Castle is a 16th century castle which was the home of Jehan de Frotté, chancellor of Marguerite de Navarre. The castle is surrounded by a 20 hectare park with more than 3 km of wooded trails which offer a peaceful and relaxing walk. You can also visit a museum inside the castle which displays 250 objects related to the history of the region, such as costumes, weapons and documents. The museum is open from July to August, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., except Mondays and Sundays. The entrance price is €4 for adults and free for children.

Very nice and shaded circuit. Viewpoint around the castle. Very little road. We take advantage of the Normandy countryside, these cows and some inhabitants of the fields (rabbits, buzzards). A good moment of peace.

Starting from the center of the village and crossing the bridge to this point, remember to look back and appreciate the view of the village and the church towering above you.

The Château de Couterne is over 450 years old. Unlike most castles in France, this one has belonged to the same family (the Frotté family) since 1542. The current owner inherited the castle when his two older brothers were killed during the war for being part of the French resistance.
