Alençon is the capital of the Orne department and lies on the southern edge of Normandy. It was once very famous for its lace and was therefore known throughout Europe. There is evidence of the existence of the city of Alençon as early as Roman times. In the 11th century, when the Normans secured their duchy to the south, the first fortified settlement was built here. This was later followed by the construction of a mighty castle. The city really achieved economic prosperity around 1650 when Madame La Perrère invented an original lace. It was in no way inferior to the Venetian lace known at the time, but it was considerably cheaper to buy. With the support of Jean-Baptiste Colbert, a royal factory was founded. As a result, more than 8,000 people worked in lace production. The "Point d'Alençon" lace was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010.

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.

Charming city of character. I highly recommend. On the other hand, the positive altitude difference is unavoidable since the village is in a hollow with significant cliffs around it.

Céneri, then cardinal of Rome, deacon and preacher, undertook around 669 to build a first wooden building that he dedicated to Saint Martin. It was in this church that Céneri was originally buried. The tomb generating miracles, the church soon took the name of its founder, to whom the people awarded the title of saint. This name became that of the village grouped around the Benedictine abbey that surrounds the church. Two centuries later, the Normans made incursions into the region and destroyed the original church. Thus for a long time there was no church in Saint-Céneri. It was in 1089 that the construction of the current church was undertaken. It was completed in 1125 but underwent several modifications and restorations until the beginning of the 20th century. The end of the 19th century saw the arrival of painters and a new life linked to artistic activity began for the village. The beauty of the landscapes and the quality of the light inspired artists such as Corot, Courbet, Harpignies, Cogniet, the Veillon brothers, Mary Renard and Paul Saïn. This artistic activity lasted for more than half a century. It ended on the eve of the First World War and was reborn in the 1950s and 1960s, giving new life and tourist appeal to this small town, ranked among the most beautiful villages in France.

This hall created for the grain trade between the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century has multiplied roles during its history: hospital during the First World War; host of exhibitions, fairs and markets; and today a center dedicated to new technologies and headquarters of the Cité des Métiers de l'Orne. It is distinguished by its large glass dome inspired by that of the old corn exchange in Paris.

A former 12th century fortified castle, the fortress was gradually destroyed from the 16th century, before being transformed into a prison during the French Revolution. Today, only three towers remain, the gatehouse and the main body. The old courtyards have been requalified to make the current Simone Veil park.

The Château de Fresnay-sur-Sarthe ensured the defense of the city in the Middle Ages. Although its construction dates back to the 10th century, it was modified and enlarged several times during the Middle Ages. From the 18th century, it fell into disrepair due to lack of maintenance. After being purchased by the municipality, the castle now houses the public garden. The two-towered châtelet recalls the physiognomy of the place in the 18th century.
