Interesting castle ruin with a very good view. Ideal for a small picnic. The castle was built by Henry I, King of England from 1100 to 1135.

A very pretty medieval town with old buildings and, unfortunately, many closed shops. The church of St. Julien is particularly worth a visit.

If you are looking for a place that combines nature, history and legend, you can visit the mound of Sainte Anne and the legend of the Dragon, a site perched near Domfront-en-Poiraie in Normandy. According to legend, around the year 1052, a fierce dragon lived in a pit called The Dragon Pit and terrorized the region. The lord of Domfront, William II Talvas, had to sacrifice a young victim every day to appease the beast. One day, his daughter Mabile was chosen by fate and was about to be devoured by the dragon. But a mysterious old man appeared on a rock overlooking the pit and made the sign of the cross, ordering the monster to disappear forever. The dragon flew away and fell into another pit called La Fosse-Tertière, where it died. You can discover this fascinating history by following a loop trail that connects Tertre Sainte-Anne and Tertre Chapon, where you will find information panels. You can also enjoy panoramic views of the countryside and the medieval town of Domfront from the top of the hill.

Very nice interior. Maintained by a family.

Besieged by William the Conqueror in 1092, this castle has changed hands many times. The English, in 1417, occupied it during the winter months. It remained in English hands until the French recaptured it in 1450. The castle's fate was sealed when it served as a refuge for the Earl of Montgomery in 1574. He was beheaded the same year and the demolition of the castle was ordained in 1608. Witnesses to the construction of the castle, the ruins have stood the test of time and are still there today for you to enjoy.

You might not think so at first glance, but this little chapel is an important place in Bagnoles-de-l'Orne. Erected in 1856 and destroyed in 1923, it was rebuilt in 1939 to become a popular place to stroll from the spa. Young women wishing to marry came to register their name there to find a companion within the year. In the 20th century, many festivals were also organized there. Today, the place is calmer and lends itself rather to collection.

At the top of the castle plateau you can enjoy the wide view of the surroundings. Early in the morning there are no tourists in town, then it is nice and quiet and the narrow streets smell of fresh croixssants.
