Very pretty place, nicely designed. Unfortunately, it's overcrowded with tourists. Perhaps a good stop on a hike.

Very nice little place, nicely designed with lots of flowers.

very varied and pleasant hike

Superb village, perched 😰, for a bistronomic break and a little digestive stroll before setting off again in the saddle!

Beautiful little village. Would also have been ideal for hiking.

6 bike boxes for cycle tourists who want to visit Alençon without any hassle

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.
