サン＝マルタン＝デ＝ランデス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.
