Very beautiful castle. The outside area is very interesting and a nice walk. Unfortunately I didn't see the inside of the castle. The bicycle parking area is behind the archway on the inside on the right.

The castle is one of the largest in Normandy. It has been a listed building since 1927. From the free car park, a gravel path leads first to a gatehouse, then to the square castle, which is as defensive as it is representative and stands next to the small castle garden and a pasture. Beyond the castle stretches the beech and oak forest of the Forêt d’Ecouves, which is part of the Normandy-Maine Regional Nature Park. Inside, the Château de Carrouges invites you to travel through three centuries. The dining room with its marble fireplace and the bishops’ room with its wood-paneled prayer chamber are particularly beautiful.

To the north of L'Orée-d'Écouves, this place takes up the name of the town perfectly. Located on the edge of the Écouves forest, on a pretty tree-lined road, it offers superb landscapes over the surrounding countryside.

A very beautiful castle in a historic city.

Carrouges Castle was built at the end of the 14th century to serve as a stately residence. Over the centuries, the castle has been remodeled and is now managed by the National Monuments Center which restored it. It is possible to visit the castle and its park on a self-guided tour or guided tour.

On the occasion of the veloscenie, I finished my first day here. You should know that Carrouges is a town located at an altitude of 320 meters, on the northern slope of the signal d'Écouves, the highest peak in Normandy (417 meters). In other words, Carrouges, it must be earned.

A pretty village in the middle of the woods, surrounded by ponds which supplied forges. These old forges can be visited by appointment. Hiking trail nearby (departure from Rânes, yellow markings).

Carrouges was first in the 14th century a stronghold of the Hundred Years War (dungeon). It became a stately home in the 15th century (Blosset wing), augmented in the 16th century by an entrance gatehouse considered to be the first witness of Renaissance architecture in Normandy.
