It's beautiful and well-maintained. The driveway to the west rear gate reminds me of the book "The Great Maulne."

a small, isolated hamlet but worth the detour

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.

From here you have a beautiful view of the Marais du Grand-Hazé, the largest marshy area in the Orne. It is labeled Sensitive Natural Space and can be visited on foot via a 7 km signposted loop.
