オモイ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ9

At this point, the hiking trail takes us seven or eight thousand years back into the history of the European continent and its settlement. Using only the power of their hands - and tools that seem primitive (from our perspective today) - the people of that era built astonishing structures. Such as this ring wall - partly made of bricks, partly made of stone - that protected the "Camp Celtique de Bierre".

The Church of Saint-Germain is an impressive church that was built from the 14th to the 17th century and features a mix of Gothic, Renaissance and classical architecture. You can admire the majestic north porch, the lantern tower, the large bell tower and the 15 chapels inside. The church also houses the remains of Blessed Marguerite de Lorraine-Vaudémont, a benefactress of Argentan. The church is open to the public all year round and hosts many concerts, including organ concerts during the International Organ Festival in summer.

The Château des Ducs is a 14th century castle that was once the residence of Pierre II de Valois, a descendant of Saint Louis. The castle is today the seat of the court of justice, but you can still admire its architecture and its chapel, which houses a magnificent altarpiece from the 18th century.

The Château de Cuy in Occagnes is a 17th century castle with classic architecture. Its elegant facades, roofs and entrance doors are classified as historic monuments. You can admire the castle from the outside, but the interior is not open to the public as it is private property.

At this point, the hiking trail leads back seven or eight millennia into the history of the European continent and its settlement. The people of that era were able to build amazing buildings using only the work of their hands - and with (from today's perspective) seemingly primitive tools. So this ring wall - partly brick, partly made of stones - that protectively surrounded the "Camp Celtique de Bierre".

Centrally located, right next to the Office de Tourisme.

This fortified site was built in the Middle Neolithic (5300-4400 BC), when agricultural practices were beginning to take hold. The camp is one of the largest in western France.

Opposite, a bakery with very good products for picnics or snacks.
