A place that you notice from afar!

A must-see between Argentan and the Haras du Pin.

Magnificent site, especially with morning lighting, unfortunately closed to visitors and the tree-lined avenue is closed to the public.

Villebadin Castle is a manor built at the end of the reign of Henri IV and equipped with a set of outbuildings from the second half of the 18th century. You can admire the classic architecture of the entrance, marked by pilasters, and the elegant dovecote, also listed as a historic monument. The castle is surrounded by a large park with trees and flowers, where you can stroll in complete tranquility. Villebadin Castle is an ideal destination for history and nature lovers.

The Argentelles Manor in Villebadin is a 15th century manor house with four corner towers, two large dormer windows and a wooden watchtower. You can admire its architecture and learn about its history from the outside, or book a guided tour of the interior if that interests you. The Manoir d'Argentelles is the ideal place to enjoy the beauty and heritage of Normandy.

The Stele of the Poles in Coudehard is a memorial which commemorates the end of the Battle of the Falaise Pocket, which took place in August 1944 during the Second World War. A group of Polish soldiers from the 1st Armored Division resisted attacks by German troops trying to escape encirclement by Allied forces. The Polish soldiers suffered heavy losses, but held their position until relieved by Canadian troops.

For a unique and historic destination, you can stop at this M16 Half-Track in Tournai-Sur-Dive. This is a rare example of an American WWII anti-aircraft vehicle that was abandoned by Allied forces after the liberation of France. It was to be equipped with four 0.5-inch machine guns mounted on a quadruple mount at the rear. You can imagine the noise he made shooting at enemy planes.

The Château de Sassy you see today was built in the 18th century. It belonged to a chancellor of France in 1850, but by far the most important person to have visited this castle was Queen Elizabeth II, in 1967, during a private visit to France. The castle has an astonishing French garden built in 1920.
