Good for a little break

Meeting points for walks to Perseigne

Very popular Market Square

Beautiful climb north of Sarthe

A must-have that is earned by the strength of the calves. But the climb is in a beautiful wooded environment with the gentle field of birds.

This 30 meter high tower allows you to admire the canopy of the 5,000 hectare forest in which it is located. The plain of Alençon is also visible there. On the site, it is possible to play molki and badminton or to rent bicycles thanks to the equipment provided. The belvedere opening dates and times are available on the following website: https://www.sarthetourisme.com/patrimoine-culturel/belvedere-de-perseigne/

Located in the heart of the Perseigne forest, at a height of 30 meters, the Belvedere is built on the highest point of the Sarthe department, at 340 m. It is certainly not an architectural model, but the large surrounding trees hide this large concrete tube, repainted and decorated in order to better integrate. Thus, you have to go a few meters into the forest from the road to see it. It should be noted that this high point and its panoramic view had already been spotted by the occupying troops: in 1943, the German army had set up a listening post there, and an observatory against Allied aviation. Nothing remains today. The new tower dates from 1964.

"O Crux Ave, Spes Unica" is a Latin phrase which means: “Hail, O Cross [of Jesus Christ, you are our] only hope” Until the 1960s, this is how French families taught their children to greet Calvaries all along their fields, by making the sign of the cross.
